Tithing for Hunger
The world is suffering a global hunger crisis, and it’s recently reached emergency proportions. According to the World Food Program, over 850 million people go hungry every day, and now the crisis is getting worse because food prices are skyrocketing.
From the New York Times:
Over the past few years the prices of wheat, corn, rice and other basic foodstuffs have doubled or tripled, with much of the increase taking place just in the last few months. High food prices dismay even relatively well-off Americans — but they’re truly devastating in poor countries, where food often accounts for more than half a family’s spending.
In our own small way, we want to help. When you buy Zane Tate’s Boom Bap Sunrise on CD, we’ll donate 10% of the profits to the World Food Program. Simply buy a CD, and we’ll give 10% to help the hungry.
Why the WFP?
The World Food Program is the United Nations frontline agency in the fight against hunger. They save lives by getting food to the hungry fast, and by helping them gain food security for the future. Learn more about the World Food Program here.
