Food Outreach, Inc.

These are strange times. These are times when Mother Earth is asking us to pull together, to pay attention, to be aware of our fellow humans. Yesterday my mom passed on to a better world, and as she devoted hours of her life to helping others and raised a family of 8, I would like to extend a hand in her memory. She would have been outraged at the idea of kids going hungry because they cannot get their daily meal from their schools which are now closed. So if you have a few dollars to spare in these very hard and strange times, this is what i propose to you:

The cover picture is of an original Wood Burning/Watercolor piece- mounted on painted aluminum  (16" x 24" )I did of a Sherpa woman. This lady seems to have all the stories of the world within the leathery lines of her face. My friend Brad took the picture I inspired myself from and he even got to give her a print of the piece!

After 2 weeks of donations, I will randomly pull a name among all of you generous donors and the original will go to you. That is that simple. Your opportunity to get it for cheap and help a very good cause.

Thank you in advance.
