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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

Give a Dollar, Save a Life started as an idea two summers ago. I wanted my family and I to sponsor a family in poverty, but I felt like that wasn't enough- there had to be a way to help more than four or five people. Instantly, my overpopulated high school came to mind. Attending a high school with 3000 kids (the second largest in CT!) can be a challenge, but it would be perfect for this project.
