Stop Hunger Now

As many of you know, we have used Stop Hunger Now to supply food for our feeding kitchens in Honduras.  This  just came in from the home office of Stop Hunger Now.  I thought I should pass this on.

Wednesday, July 20, the UN officially declared famine in parts of southern Somalia. It is predicted that the entire South of Somalia will face famine within the next two months. Other countries in the Horn of Africa are being severely affected by drought. The UN estimates that there are at least 1.5 million displaced people, including a quarter of the Somali population now displaced, and 10 million people in need of immediate food assistance as a result of this crisis.  According to a CNN report, aid workers are calling it the worst food cris  On  is since the famine in Ethiopia in the mid-1980s that killed about 1 million people.   Photo by Filipe Moreira   Stop Hunger Now has identified a long-term, trusted partner to distribute our meals in Somalia.  We have set the goal to ship two 40 foot containers, a total of 570,240 Stop Hunger Now meals to the region.  Stop Hunger Now is raising $150,000 to support these efforts. This region of the world is in a position to suffer from a major humanitarian catastrophe.  Stop Hunger Now urges you to join us in responding to this crisis.  Please donate today and become a part of the movement to end hunger in our lifetime.  Thank you for our support, we are honored to work on your behalf.
