(BEDFORD) - The 10 x 10 Fast for Bertha’s Mission is Monday.
The community can participate by doing three simple things - Fast for 10 hours, say 10 prayers and donate $10.
Fasting hours are from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fast is fundraiser and to bring awareness to those that suffer hunger in Lawrence County.
In 2017, Bertha's Mission volunteers prepared and served more than 17,000 meals. In addition to people who come in for a meal, Bertha's Mission prepare and deliver 140 meals every Wednesday to elderly and disabled people unable to come to Bertha's Mission.
Janice Nickeo-Pendergrass is founder and director of Bertha's Mission and encourages people to invite friends or a church group to do the challenge with them.
The money raised will be used to feed the hungry in Lawrence County.
