2: The organization’s history, purpose, and programs and/or services. The operation center for His Glory Farm project is located 10 miles north of Murray, KY in the Hickory Grove Community.Martin and Ginger Severns purchased the farm in 1994 and immediately devoted the farm to the Lord for His use. Since this time, church and school groups have enjoyed camping, class meeting, bonfires and prayer events on the farm. As a class project in the past, a Sunday school class took responsibility to feed out calves donated by local cattle farmer and pastures on this farm to be dressed and distributed among hungry families. Over 1,000 pounds of processed beef was distributed over a two year period to needy families in Calloway County, KY. In 2011, His Glory Project distributed tomatoes, corn, potatoes, and green beans to hungry families in Calloway, Marshall, and Pike Counties in Kentucky.

My major is Environmental Engineering Technology. I have high level physical and chemical knowledge, and I also took the courses like: Field Management, Nature Planting Control, Water Quality Control and Wastewater Treatment. This is a good chance for me to use my major knowledge in the real life to helping other people. The second reason is I really interested in their project.

    One aspect of this program involved widespread government aid being pumped into the region. One county in the Tennessee Valley reports “$60,000 [for] state aid” and “$51,000 [for] federal aid”. Along with pumping money into counties, the government’s demonstration farms served as propaganda. People were meant to model their farms after the “perfect” government-approved way. “Critics saw mostly manipulation in this approach” of educational outreach, however.…

    Being active in National Charity League for six years, I have had the pleasure of working with many different philanthropies, my favorite being The Tualatin School House Pantry. Operating out of the basement of a church, the food bank helps to feed families in the community who are struggling financially. While my first few experiences at the food pantry were emotionally challenging, I found them to be very eye opening. I met many people from different backgrounds, yet they all shared the same hardship, the inability to afford food for themselves and their families. Wanting to do more for the recipients, I received training to be one of the personal shoppers.…

    They have seven programs that simultaneously educate the community about the hunger problem in Georgia, and they also make sure that people throughout Atlanta are being fed. These seven programs include Atlanta Prosperity Campaign, Atlanta’s Table, Community Gardens, Hunger 101, Hunger Walk/Run, Kids In Need and Product Rescue Center. I had the opportunity to participate in two of their programs, which were the Hunger 101 program and the Product Rescue Center. I was first introduced to this organization by volunteering for their Hunger 101 program. This program was very enlightening, and it inspired me to make a difference in my community. This program entailed an interactive group session that educated the volunteers about the hunger problem in Georgia. The volunteers participated in a workshop where we were given the role of being a less fortunate person for a day. We were given this person’s income, how many people lived their house, and all the expenses that they had to pay for. We had to use those values to calculate how much money that person has to spend on food per day. I discovered that most of these people had no more than three dollars to spend on food for their whole family in one day.…
