***email WesFasting@gmail.com to participate

Overview:
  Each year, Wesleyan's MSA and Muslim Chaplain hold a Ramadan Banquet. This year, it is being held on October 9th. New this year, the Interfaith Justice League is helping to co-sponsor a Fast-A-Thon on the same day, October 9th. Participants in the Fast-a-Thon will fast from dawn to dusk, which involves not eating or drinking. They will have the opportunity to donate the points or meals they would have spent that day on food/drink, to the local food pantry: Amazing Grace. Free food will be provided at the Ramadan Banquet, which will be taking place at the top floor of Usdan, at 5:30PM.  Everyone is welcome to participate in both events, students, faculty, and staff!  The Ramadan Banquet is also open to everyone, regardless of participation in the Fast-a-Thon!

When all donations are counted up, food will be purchased from WeShop at a 15% discount and then donated to Amazing Grace, the local food pantry.
