Welcome! This group works to have no hunger in Oak Park in 7 years. Please donate Hours to No Hunger Oak Pak. Spend the Hours doing what you love. The Hours you credit to us in our TimeBank account will enable us to build a thriving, nourished community.
The first step in our plan for eliminating hunger is to form a Leadership Council of 15 people. Their task wil be to detail the following plans, inspire people about their potential, and guide their implementation.
- Goals: double the number of donors and increase their donations by 50%. Thus:
- Year 1: enlist 60 people to donate 8 Hours. This means 480 Hours would be credited to No Hunger Oak Park.
- Year 2: 120 people donate 12 Hours. 1,440 Hours credited to No Hunger OP. The patterns continues.
- Year 7: 3,840 people donate 91 Hours. 350,000 Hours (equivalent of 175 full-time staff).
This means that if all goes as hoped, in Year 7 we will have eliminated hunger in Oak Park. The 350k Hours donated (if valued at $15/hour) is equivalent to $5.25 million devoted to eliminating hunger in Oak Park, or $24/week for each of the 4,200 hungry Oak Parkers*.
In Year 7 the time donations will mean a value of $25/week per hungry Oak Parker will be spent to eliminate hunger. This adds $5.25 million more in economic exchanges to the Oak Park economy, which will spillover to other local businesses and result in $7.9 million in Oak Park economic activity. And this will likely mean work available for exchange Hours for Oak Parkers who had been chronically hungry.
___________
* 8% of Oak Park residents lived in poverty in 2012. 8% x 52,000 residents = 4,200 residents lived in poverty and were chronically hungry.
