Fighting extreme poverty

If you have ever attended a WILLET concert, or talked to any of the band members in person, you have most likely heard stories of our trip to Ethiopia, Africa, and our work with FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY. As extreme poverty finally receives more attention by the public and media, the organizations that people can get involved with are endless. I constantly read about new projects, funds and missions from people around the country, and many of them have extremely worthy causes. I am very grateful for their selfless pursuit of raising awareness and support for less-fortunate children.

As I learn of the numerous possibilities of ways to get involved in fighting extreme poverty, I am continually thankful to be an artist representative for an organization that I truly believe in. Food for the Hungry is committed to caring for the physical and spiritual needs of hungry children in over 26 countries! They do not only respond immediately to crisis situations providing relief, but they build relationships, community and sustainability in countries through development.

Single projects such as funding for a clean-water well, new school building, or gifts for Christmas are definitely notable causes, however, I am a firm believer in child sponsorship and the effect that it can have on a single child and its family in a 3rd world country. For $32 a month, we are able to completely transform the life of a child that has dreams and passions just like the rest of us, but is just waiting for an opportunity to shine! I know this because I have experienced it first hand when I had the opportunity to visit the children that I sponsor.

This holiday season, would you consider bringing Hope to a child in need? Your small contribution of about $1 / day will become more of a blessing to you and your family then a financial obligation. It may take some sacrifice on your part, but the work that is being done by fellow believers in Ethiopia, Africa is well worth it as we see thousands of lives transformed for the glory of God....one at a time.

Consider joining 500+ other people around the country who have sponsored children over the past 2 years. Start your adventure now!
