The War on Hunger

From the GoFundMe Campaign…”Sustenance for Food Deserts”

At one time or another in life–unless you were born into stable financial solvency–we have all been down to our last few dollars and weeks away from our next paycheck (or whatever income type you may receive), wondering how you’re going to feed yourself, let alone an entire family, on less than nothing. Which means you have to resort to buying the lowest, poorest quality food there is. Now what if you had to endure this type of malnurishment/poor access to quality food 365 days a year because you lived in a food desert?

Simply, a food desert is what it sounds like…a dried up, dried out, harsh living area with limited life-sustaining resources. And there are millions of people in the U.S. trying to survive in these food sandpits.

Thus, I am starting this campaign to fund a project to make better food options (as well as educational options) at affordable prices (as low as a quarter; because people have their pride and are not looking for a “hand out” but just a “hand up” to help them make their dreams into reality, even in the smallest of ways) individuals living in food deserts.

If I am able to fund this project, and hopefully expand it across the country if it’s a success locally, through the generosity, care, and compassion of you all, then maybe, just maybe, this will be one more step in ending hunger in the U.S.

Funds will be used for food, supplies, equipment, space (renovations included), etc. to provide quality food to those in want of resources that they are economically and socially denied.

This project could also provide jobs and boost business for Farmers’ Markets and other entities that offer fresh foods.

With more affordable food options, that’s more money in the pocket of the people, which means if I can buy what I need then I don’t have to hustle or do other activities deemed unlawful just to make it through the day.

Too many people have died or are incarcerated because they didn’t (or believed they didn’t) have options…an empty stomach growls louder than a conscience.

My goal is two-fold: combat hunger then homelessness.

Please Google “food deserts” if you want to know more about this dire socio-economic matter.

Thank you.
