We Need You – Africa Famine Relief
 
Since the news cycle is not reporting on this, you might not know: 
 
As you are reading this post, there are families in Africa who do not know where they may find their next meal. Grandparents, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters are all currently experiencing the pangs of hunger due to ongoing drought and in some areas, violent conflict. Cattle have died, water has dried up, and crops have failed. Outside assistance is absolutely necessary in these countries, and lives are literally at stake.  
 
In order to provide emergency food, we need you. You can make hope possible for these families right now by learning more and sharing the article at the button below, and by donating online using the designation “Africa Famine Relief 2017.”
