Celebrity chef and longtime supporter Aarti Sequeira, of the Food Network, will appear at the Hunger Banquet on behalf of Oxfam America.
Oxfam America is a Boston-based global relief and development organization.
Oxfam America Hunger Banquets have helped people understand the reality of hunger for over 40 years at thousands of events attended by more 850,000 people around the country.
Before the event, guests draw tickets at random that assign each to a high-, middle-, or low-tier based on current statistics of people living in poverty.
Each income tier receives a meal that corresponds to their income level.
The high-income tier is served a sumptuous meal; the middle-income section eats a simpler meal of rice and beans; and the low-income tier receives rice and water.
The Oxfam America Hunger Banquet will be held on Saturday, March 7 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at the Knafel Center, Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University, located at 18 Mason Street in Cambridge.
The event is free and open to people of all ages.
Donations are suggested and RSVPs are required in advance.
