6-Mile Run/Walk for FEED

The FEED team is hosting a 6-Mile Run/Walk event on OCTOBER 18th from 8-11am. Location is still being determined at this point. Although plans are still coming together, you can count on the Run/Walk happening on October 11th to raise money towards FEED's $50,000 goal. This event has the potential to be the biggest fundraising opportunity for FEED. We are asking participants to seek sponsors for every mile they walk or run, or make a personal donation as an entrance fee. For example, our challenge to the youth in our church ministry is to attain approximately $200 each in sponsorships total. We believe this amount is easily attainable by asking businesses and family members to sponsor you $10 per mile. $10/mile x 6 miles = $60. $60 x 4 sponsors = $240! YOU can do it! We will also have entertainment, food, and t-shirts available at the event! The significance of walking and/or running the 6 miles is to honor the women and children in Africa that have to walk 6 miles just to provide water for their families' survival. Please come out and have fun while getting some exercise, support the FEED movement, and ultimately help save thousands of African lives.

Meet the team: Kelly Stewart

Hey everyone! My name is Kelly Stewart, and I have the privilege of serving as the leader of the FEED team. I am a senior Social Work major at Middle Tennessee State University. College has been a wonderful experience for me, and I am blessed to be part of the FEED movement. FEED is the biggest undertaking I have ever been a part of so far in my 21 years of life. I am honored that Jeremy Lee, the minister of students at New Vision Baptist Church, entrusted FEED to me and my team. We have seen God working in so many ways already. The experience that we have gained planning our presentation and presenting to various business owners and corporate representatives is invaluable. We have learned the power of networking, and have drawn very close as a team throughout this whole fund-raising process. Our desire is to see youth and individuals all over join the FEED movement and recognize the impact we can have on our world together. We live truly blessed lives, and we have the responsibility to help others less fortunate than ourselves. Through FEED, your $1 becomes $5 thanks to the U.S. Government and United Nations funding; AND, it only takes $2 to help one person through the work World Vision is doing. This means that just giving $1 will help more than 2 people! Please contact me at (615)260-0982 or kes3j@mtsu.edu if you are interested in helping in any way! Thank you so much for visiting our blog!

General Mills- Our biggest supporter yet!

General Mills, FEED's first serious business presentation, has officially committed $2,000 to World Vision! Not only have they committed $2,000 from the plant in Murfreesboro, but they also want us to apply for a great deal more money from corporate General Mills! We are so excited about this new partner, and we want to thank General Mills, Murfreesboro plant, for being so generous and supportive of our project!
