Hunger in America
“An Adventure in Awareness”

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE... JESUS SAID WE WOULD


This story is the mission of Carpenter’s House in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. September 8th until November 7th, 2009 - 61 days, Carpenters House tackled the issue of hunger in America. The strategy they used is unusual. Here is their plan:

Sept 7th - Charles Dillon, Founder and Director of Carpenter’s House launched a canoe at the mouth of the Mississippi River in Lake Itasca, MN.
Charles paddled his canoe down the Mississippi to New Orleans-some 2350 miles arriving in that great city on November 7th.

Charles stoped on the river in 50 cities and towns. As a member of the Body of Christ in those cities lots of people joined Charles on the river to pray for that city and surrounding area. Each person who came to pray was asked to bring a can of food and funds of any denomination to assist with the work in New Orleans. The food went to the cities local churches to feed the hungry. The money traveled with Charles to New Orleans to continue the work of Carpenter’s House.
