For the first time ever, our family is IN THE RING for The Great Food Fight!

As the Founder of The Hub, I have seen every single day of this ministry.  All that The Hub is now started out of the trunk of my car with... YOU GUESSED IT... 
FOOD!!

Food has always been a part of how God begins the work of restoration in the lives that The Hub serves.  When you're hungry and someone feeds you consistently, trust is built.  That trust can then lead to deeper levels of engagement and the domino effect of A MEAL can lead to a fully restored life.

So this year WE'RE FIGHTING for the hungry in our city!

The 3 Hammett girls are competing against my husband, Brent Hammett to raise the most funds!

Here's the best part (besides feeding people):

If we win, Brent clean shaves his face, for the first time in 20 years.  MY CHILDREN HAVE NEVER SEEN HIS FACE.

If Brent wins I can not purchase a single item of clothing for one calendar year.  (this is a personal vendetta Brent has decided to use the Food Fight to settle)

So - don't you want to see baby face Brent???  Give to The Hammett Girls and help my girls see their dad's face for the first time!

This October, The Hub has rallied an army of 100 Food Fighters to each raise $1,000 for our mission to give everyone in Shreveport access to a restored life. Why food? Because for many of our neighbors, restoration starts with a meal.

Right now in Louisiana:

Louisiana by the numbers

• An estimated 827,690 people in Louisiana live with food insecurity.
• 248,630 of those people are children. 
• This amounts to roughly 18%, or 1 in 6 people in our state, struggling to feed themselves or their households.

 Caddo Parish by the numbers

• Households who can’t provide basic needs: 55%
• Food Insecurity rate: 18.9%
• Food Insecure population: 43,920 people
• Cost per meal: $3.65

But we're not backing down. Here's how we are fighting hunger every single day:

• 1,000+ hot meals served monthly at The Lovewell and Purchased Resource Center
• 100+ daily shoppers at the Eatwell food store
• Weekly groceries for participants in both our VIP and Purchased programs

When you give to the Great Food Fight, you’re raising more than dollars—you’re raising hope, dignity, and opportunity for those living in poverty.
