Ebola Emergency Aid - Donation collection in Baltimore, to feed the hungry in West Africa!

"The Ebola virus in Western Africa is threatening not only lives, but also food production."

World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide, delivering food in emergencies and working with communities to build resilience. In 2013, WFP assisted more than 80 million people in 75 countries.

Currently, World Food Programme is assisting other organizations and medical personnel in West Africa, to help aid the Ebola Epidemic Emergency reponse. The Ebola Epidemic is wreaking havoc even outside of the makeshift hospital walls; hunger is taking hold in West Africa, and nourishment is very important for these people to stay well and keep farming and doing what they can to hold their communities up during this Ebola crisis.

Your donations will help our Baltimore efforts to gather funds to help World Food Programme continue providing nourishments and comfort to these Ebola-stricken countries.

By donating on the GoFundMe site, you will be helping us to give to World Food Programme so that they can deliver food to families affected by Ebola!

The Ebola virus in Western Africa is threatening not only lives, but also food production. If we fail to act now, entire communities could miss the harvest season, and thousands will go hungry.
