The Silent Tsunami Campaign

A Humane Response

As an individual you have little control of these forces.  Most of us have little say on the policies that set food prices.  However, you can help people survive this “silent tsunami.” 

 

No contribution is too small.  Simply diverting what you might spend on an afternoon cup of coffee or soda can help a handful of people get the food they need. Larger donations sent by check or made online can make an even greater impact. 

 

The people who work at 2100 M Street in Washington DC, in an effort spearheaded by the Law Offices of Stewart and Stewart, and with the enthusiastic support of the building management at Hines, are doing what they can to help organizations dedicated to getting food to people.

 

In this campaign, employees from organizations, including the Urban Institute and George Washington University, are encouraged to give to the Friends of the World Food Program, which helps deliver food to needy people in 80 countries, and/or the Capitol Area Food Bank, which works with 700 area organizations to make sure people have the food they need.

 

There are lots of ways to help.  This campaign is just one of them. Hundreds, if not thousands, of organizations around the world share a mission to feed people in need.   Please be generous to whatever organization you choose to support.

 

Some people may want to drop a few coins in a bowl at the reception desk. Others may want to bring in food items.  Still others may prefer to make a donation online. 

 

Let’s hope the Silent-Tsunami Campaign at 2100 M Street is just a start!   If you, your colleagues, and friends chip in, we can help thousands of people.  Imagine if thousands of companies across the country duplicated our effort.
