On Monday night UCF hosted its twenty-second annual hunger banquet in the Pegasus Ballroom, where hundreds of students gathered to gain awareness on this pressing issue.
At the event, students were split into three groups, low, middle and high class.
The students were then served a meal coinciding with their economic class. The low class was served a ration of rice and water and sat on the floor, the middle class was served a sandwich, and the high class was served a nutritious dinner and sat at a table prepared with silverware and napkins. This was done to make students aware of the different circumstances in which people live.
Guest speakers spoke of their experiences dealing with the hungry and informed UCF students of what they could do to take action.
After the event, Knight News caught up with the director of the event, as well as students in attendance to get their take on the banquet.
