Please Support Why Hunger

In 1975, the late Harry Chapin and Bill Ayres founded Why Hunger, an organization whose goal was to put an end to hunger suffered by 49 million Americans and nearly 1 billion people worldwide. That same year, they came up with an idea to reach out for donations and aid using the power of the music and the radio. In conjunction with WNEW-FM, the leading rock station in America at the time, they launched Hungerthon, a 24 hour radio broadcast designed to raise awareness about the issue of hunger in the United States. Live music from rock artists concerned with this serious problem became a staple of each Hungerthon broadcast. Hungerthon has been an annual even since 1985, held right around Thanksgiving.  I heard my first Hungerton Broadcast on WNEW in 1986 and have been donating ever since.

So, in this month when we feast to celebrate all that we have been blessed with in life, please think of those who go hungry and give to WhyHunger.  You can donate here. Or you can buy my book - I'm donating 25% of my sales to Whyhunger this month. 

If you have enjoyed the music we have brought you here at So Many Roads over the last 12 years, nothing would make me happier than if you donate to this worthy cause.
