From South Carolina-
Lauren Templeton admitted she didn't like the rice very much, even though that was her only option at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church on Sunday night.
"It makes me feel sad to say that when so many people don't have enough to eat," admitted the Church of Good Shepherd teen member from Augusta.
That's just what leaders from Good Shepherd, St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church in Aiken and the host St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church in North Augusta had in mind with a "hunger banquet."
Some young people and adults received spaghetti, beans, rice and dessert as a "high-income" group. The middle-income people were given rice and beans, while the largest group - the low-income folks - got the bowl of rice.
The activity is available in conjunction with Oxfam America, a branch of Oxfam International. The nonprofit organizations address social injustice, according to their websites, and assist with disasters, social services, educating and training.
