The Hunger Challenge is a fundraiser benefiting the Food Pantry of Jeff Davis County held on Saturday, October 7, 2023. 

The Hunger Challenge provides a unique opportunity to gain access to our iconic Mount Livermore via Davis Mountains Preserve, which is managed by The Nature Conservancy. The event will offer a guided hike to the top of Mount Livermore, the highest peak in Jeff Davis County. 

Be aware, the climb up Mount Livermore is considered strenuous. The altitude gain is 1,878 ft. and the distance is 3.1 miles (one way) to the summit. If you're not up for a climb to the summit, consider raising money for the Food Pantry by participating in one of our guided nature hikes. 

The day will begin with breakfast at 7:00 AM in the McIvor Center. The climb and nature hikes all begin at 8:00 AM. Sack lunches, bottled water, and snacks will be provided for you to carry in your backpack. There will be a meal provided at the completion of the hike. 

Accommodations (Optional):
You may choose to camp at the Davis Mountains Preserve on both Friday and Saturday night. Tents may be pitched near the McIvor Center, which has access to toilets and showers. Inside the McIvor Center there are 12 bunk beds (bedding needed), which are available for $10 per night. There is a lovely cabin on the property which has three twin beds upstairs in the loft and two downstairs bedrooms, each with a full-size bed. The cabin also includes a kitchen, bathroom, and living area. The cabin may be rented for the weekend for $1,000. Participants planning to stay overnight may arrive at 5:00 PM on Friday and should plan to leave by 11:00 AM on Sunday. 

Participants (both summit hikers and nature trail hikers) must submit a $50 non-refundable registration fee and are also required to raise an additional $250 (minimum) in donations for the Food Pantry of Jeff Davis County. 

As always, volunteers will be necessary as they perform the crucial, behind-the-scenes jobs.
