T-shirts Feeding the World

Hi, friends! I recently returned from Washington Leadership Conference, which is a five day long FFA conference that focuses on service. As many of you know, earlier this summer I launched a t-shirt campaign with profits benefiting Feeding America. Upon returning from D.C. I have decided to re-launch the service campaign. While in our nation's capital, that fire for helping other was reignited. The FFA motto:
Learning to Do,
Doing to Learn,
Earning to Live, 
Living to Serve
As FFA members, American citizens, and as people, it is our moral obligation to dedicate our lives to service. The FFA motto perfectly describes that task of "living to serve." We must help others who cannot help themselves. By purchasing a t-shirt, not only do you get something, but meals are provided for those in need.

I have a few different projects, but my favorite SAE is raising Jack Russell Terrier puppies. Recently, on May 5th, very early in the morning, my dog gave birth to five puppies. Since then, they have opened their eyes, grown, and of course played.

We often find ourselves in situations where we want to become involved, but we don't know how. I'm starting this fundraiser in the hopes of spreading the word about hunger, while raising money in the process. There are 795 million people who experience hunger in the world. One of my favorite quotes by St. Teresa of Calcutta is, "If you can't feed one hundred people, then feed just one." By purchasing a shirt you are helping to keep people full and fed. Ending world hunger starts with just one step, one action, and one person. It starts with you.  One of the ways I helped spread awareness about hunger was by giving a speech through FFA. My speech was titled "...
