Feed Me, Seymour

Thursday, April 30, 2009
My good friends Shawn and Donna Powers are the leaders of their church's youth group, and each year they do a 30 hour fast to raise money to feed the hungry.

I think this is a pretty sweet project for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that the kids in Shawn's youth group are learning the importance of charity and what it really feels like to go hungry, if only for 30 hours.

Last year I sponsored the whole group, but this year Shawn and Donna's daughter Amanda is old enough to participate, so she's getting Auntie Janiece's hard-earned money, from one singer to another.

Amanda's video is below, and if you want additional information on the fast, you can find it on Shawn's blog. If you're so inclined, Amanda's donation page is here.



Good luck, Amanda, and the rest of the Youth Group!
