On Ash Wednesday, Catholics around the world participate in a day of fasting, eating only one meal and two small snacks. During the season of Lent, we abstain from meat on Fridays and many of us give up a favorite food or beverage.  But what if we took our fasting a step further and did what Jesus told us to – serve others like He served us?

Fast+Feed is a fasting food savings calculator that helps you to “do as has been done to you.”

Plug in what you would have eaten on a non-fasting/abstaining day, calculate your savings, and donate that amount to a charity dedicated to feeding the poor, like the South Burlington Food Shelf. It’s a virtual way of passing your plate to someone in need this Lent!
