Banquet to benefit the homeless
By Tammy Batey
Emerald Reporter
Although most homeless people .ire hungry,
they aren’t the only group to suffer from a lac k of
food
It’s a point the St Vincent I)e Paul Society and
University Housing hopes to drive home at the
Banquet for Hunger this Sunday at H p m.
Most of the hungry of Kugcne an? children, said
Uarol Pelster. St Vincent I)e Paul Society's west
ern region youth representative
“What most people usually forget is that not all
hungry (people) are homeless, ' Pelster said
“Most of the hungry are children and single par
ents
"They're not lazy," she* said. “They're not
hums They just can't make the rent.”
At the Banquet for Hunger. University students
and faculty, in addition to members of the com
munity. will be able to experience what it's like
to be hungry.
Those who attend the dinner will be given one
of three different colored tickets, Pelster said,
with each color representing a different class of
eating
One color will represent a first class style of
eating. Pelster said
"They'll Ih> eating what a typical upper-middle
class American family eat and what most of us
(students) get," she said
This meal will consist of fried chicken, spa
ghetti or a similar popular American dish
The second color will represent a second-class
style of eating while the third color will represent
a third-class style of eating. Pelster said The sec
ond-i lass meal will consist of soup and bread
while the third-class meal will la* rice and water
''They'll (second-class diners) la* eating what
most people eat ol the lower classes or what some
p<*ople eat the* fourth week of the month before
their paycheck." slu* said “They'll (third-class
diners) will be eating what most homeless and
what most people in third world countries are
lucky to get "
Hunger among Lmr County residents will be
difficult to avoid when you're "across from some
one eating three times better than you." Pelster
said
"We have the security of knowing we can go to
McDonalds afterwards.” she said "Hopefulh
it’ll make people think. 'Gee. I was pretty lucky I
had that (to eat) yesterday.'”
A division of the St Vincent De Paul Society in
New York first organized a banquet to raise mon
ey for the hungry, and the society in Eugene de
cided to hold a similar function in the area
Pelster. a University student, went to University
Housing for support of the program, said Ann Ly
man. Hamilton Complex manager.
The complex is sponsoring the program, and
Lyman said University Housing had three goals
in supporting program.
"We hope to raise money for the hungry in
litne County, raise awareness (about the hungry)
and empower (students) to make a difference."
Lyman said.
Sally Smith, coordinator of educational pro
grams for housing, said that University Housing
became involved in the program because there
was an interest in helping the hungry.
"Our business is to facilitate what students
want to do." she said "Housing is many faceted
in terms of our support all the way from the study
of (cultures) to community service."
Kaylea Fertsch. Hamilton program assistant,
said it would be impossible for someone to attend
the banquet and not realize there's a problem
with hunger in I.ane County.
"Students will know what it’s like to eat a lux
ury dinner and see someone go hungry (eating
rice and water).” Fertsch said. "We can do some
thing to benefit people besides ourselves."
The Banquet for Hunger will be held in the Car
son Hall cafeteria. Tickets cost $2 and are avail
able at the EMU and the University Bookstore.
The money collected will go toward holiday food
baskets for hungry families in I.ane County.
Pelster said.
John Van landingham. Lane County housing
task force chairman, will speak at the dinner
