After visiting Haiti, helping the people there is personal. Check out Sevenly’s campaign this week that helps feed more kids through the organization I work at.
For this week only, our friends at Sevenly are selling t-shirts that benefit FMSC. Each shirt purchased will feed a child in Haiti for one month.
