The Yale Hunger and Homelessness Action Project (YHHAP) Fast will take place on Saturday, April 6, and donations will be accepted until Monday morning (April 8) at 8 a.m.
The YHHAP Fast is the largest student-run fundraiser on the Yale campus. Once a semester, over 50% of Yale’s student body donates their Yale Dining meal swipes for the day of the Fast. Many faculty members and alumni also join the cause by donating money directly to the YHHAP Fast fund.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from the Fast support organizations that address housing and food insecurity in New Haven, from emergency shelters to kitchens to advocacy groups. This semester, the Fast will support three New Haven organizations doing critical on-the-ground work to combat food waste, provide residential care, and alleviate food insecurity: Haven’s Harvest, Continuum of Care, and Sunrise Cafe.
If you would like to support the Fast, you can donate online or through Venmo (@Yhhap-Yale; please put "Fast" in the description). Donations to YHHAP are tax deductible. Donations will be accepted throughout the weekend.
