CBS Early Morning Show Food Drive

The amount of products in food banks across America are at an all time low because of high costs for shipping and a weakening economy. Because of this shortage, it is important for citizens to take a role in replenishing the supply in their local food banks.

PLAN (Poverty Life And Need)

The main problem we are trying to solve with our documentary is the lack awareness and our students have of poverty in the United States. Our school is Gonzaga Preparatory School in Spokane, Washington. It disturbed us when the students of the school described those in poverty as “lazy” or saying that the reason they are in difficult economic situations was because of some fault of their own.

Helping the Hungry

The problem that I am trying to solve is hunger in the local area, and I am hoping to help the communities of Green Bay, Neenah, and Oshkosh. My plan was to raise awareness of hunger and get 3 petitions signed, one from each city, and present them to Wisconsin’s government to see if a statewide hunger fund could be started if it isn’t already. I mean, the number of people who die from hunger every 3 and ½ days is the same number as how many people died when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima during WWII. Also, 13 million children got to bed hungry every day in the U.S.

Feed The Forgotten

Daniel Poku — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:40:05 -0500

Feed the Forgotten is a project created by the Heroes Of Tomorrow that with the grant may be able to start this summer. Feeding over 100 people in Found. for Homeless will be what this club achieves and will even commit to doing this once every week. However, feeding the less fortunate is a fraction of what we're doing. We will also do clothing drives and give to the homeless. Interacting and facillitating positive interactions are what this project will execute.

• Providing housing & education to orphans (currently provided for 45+ children).

LIFEBLOOD MINISTRIES - Exchanging our blood for the lives of orphans

dvillanue9374 — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 08:42:14 -0500

Because of extreme poverty, children are sold on the streets of Hyderabad, India for $10-15 and used as laborers in fields and factories, prostitutes in brothels, and human sacrifices in Hindu temples. The male/female ratio is off because parents kill their infant daughters rather than face paying a wedding dowry in the future. The Banjara Tribe is particularly vulnerable, as they are considered "untouchables" in the culture, 90% of them are illiterate, and most are born into the debt bondage that has enslaved their ancestors for generations.

Harmony For Hunger is me and friends making burned CD's and sell them cheap to raise money for the food shelf.

Concerts for Humanity

Concerts for Humanity is a student-run organization at Long Beach Polytechnic. The objective of this club is to raise funds to aid world poverty and victims of AIDS. We do so by organizing benefit concerts and other events. All the proceeds will be part of the efforts to end world poverty and AIDS. We also aim to inform the student body about this much needed cause. We stress the importance of giving to those less fortunate than we are. We work with the ONE Campaign, Bread for the World, World Vision and their partners. Currently, we are sponsoring a boy named Marvin Vindel in the Honduras.

Kitchen on the Street-Invisible Hunger

Kitchen on the Street — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 14:25:44 -0600

My name is Taylor Joyner. I am a freshman in Phoenix, Az. I am also a junior board member and co-founder of a non profit called Kitchen on the Street. KOS works with Arizona schools to give food to children in need. Kids on the schools food programs sometimes go hungry on weekends. KOS gives packbacks of food (Bags of Hope) to these kids. We ALWAYS needs people to host food drives for the items we include in Bags of Hope.
Thank you for your time
