How Does Fast Forward Work?

Organizing and participating in the FAST Forward project is easy. Everything you'll need is provided, free of charge, by CRWRC. In fact, most of the resources you'll need are available right here on our website.

The first step is for your school or youth group to decide to participate. You can hold your FAST during lent, in November in conjunction with World Hunger Sunday, or choose another time that works best for you. Next, the young people raise money from donors and sponsors - asking them to give a gift of love to their neighbors around the world who do not have enough to eat.

The group then goes for 24 hours without food - so that they can have a real taste of what hunger is like. During this time your school or youth group engages in different activities from community service projects, to Bible studies, to interactive games. Afterwards, the money raised is sent to CRWRC and put to work in countries like Bangladesh, Kenya, Romania, and even the United States and Canada.

Through your participation in FAST Forward, countless lives will be impacted – from the poor farmer in Latin America who can now grow enough food to eat, to the young person in your church who now has a better understanding of poverty. Sign up for this important program today.
