Global Fast is a movement that empowers anyone to change lives globally – whether you can give 5 minutes a week or 5 days per week. We can help you maximize your impact, and see your global impact.
There are three key ways to get involved:
We are not the cause of global poverty
But we can be the solution
Fasting for others grows out courage and
compassion to change lives
1. Join the fast
The first Wednesday of every month, we fast and donate to change lives globally. You can choose your fast – one meal, two meals, or something else that’s a sacrifice from your life, and fits your personal health needs. Get hungry. Get uncomfortable. Extreme poverty is going to end, and we’ll be a part of it.
This fast is the heartbeat of the movement – the thing that ties us all together from coast to coast and around the world. Once you’re into this fast with others, we encourage you to fast or sacrifice other things on your own – your own personal fast. You can give up food, drinks, coffee, movies, shopping, or other things that could become a small donation to change lives forever.
Yeah, so going hungry is hard. Fasting sucks. So does extreme poverty. So let’s end it.
2. Grow your impact
The words you speak can change the world. We believe it. We’ve seen words change the world. Your profile on Global Fast shows your impact not just by your fasting and giving – but that of every friend, neighbor, teammate, and pet who joins you to fast and change lives.
Can you imagine that it was less than 50 years ago when MLK gave the “I have a dream” speech? Our passion and vision can change the world – and when you invite friends to Join the Fast with you, your global impact grows according to their impact. You can see the ripple effect of your passion to end poverty mapped across the US and around the world.
We believe that impact is about sharing and spreading your passion – and Global Fast allows you to create and grow your Movement to end poverty, and see the global impact of every person you’ve touched.
3. Adopt a project
When you’re ready to take it to the next level – start your own team and adopt a project. You can give up a birthday, run a race, hold an event – whatever. We encourage you to incorporate fasting somehow
into every project or fundraiser. When recipients realize that people went hungry for them, it puts the gift in a totally different category of giving. It’s like receiving something even more deeply valuable.
For the Rock Star Activist, there is no greater thrill than finding a project you’re passionate for, and creating an event to fund it with your friends, family and community. When you’ve found a charity you really like or a particular project that strikes you, we encourage and empower you to make it your own, to fund it with friends, and in most cases you can even dedicate the project by name – to your school, team, or to a loved one.
