yhhap fast

Once every semester, YHHAP organizes the YHHAP fast—when students can choose to give up their meal swipes for a day and the proceeds are donated to combat hunger and homelessness in New Haven. The fast is operated in conjunction with Yale Dining Services, and typically involves other undergraduate organizations and local New Haven restaurants and businesses as well. The Fall 2012 Fast raised over $18,000 for the TAP program.

If you are a student and you want to sign up for the fast, please log into SIS, select the Dining tab in the upper-right corner, and click on “The Yale Hunger and Homelessness Action Project Sign Up.” Then click yes, and submit!

If you represent a student organization and you want to table for the fast, please let us know, and we can send you the details.

Participants, please note: if you signed up for the fast and have changed your mind about participating, select the “No” button in SIS and click Submit. If you choose to participate in the fast, you will be giving up one day’s worth of board meals, of which the related food expense will be donated to YHHAP. Please note that your Board swipes will not work in the dining halls on the day of the fast. However, you may eat in a dining hall that day if you pay cash, charge your meal to your student account, or use Eli Bucks or Flex Points.
