Upcoming Menu: Music vs. Hunger
Jun 13th, 2012 by Jinja
The Cambodian Space Project is doing a fundraiser for BuckHunger soup kitchen!
Sounds like a fun event all around.
Buck Hunger is going like gangbusters to provide free food on a very simple model.
One recommendation that would make the whole operation more palatable: if the organization targets children, I’d be a lot more enthused if it was a registered ‘ChildSafe‘ organization. Individual and large-scale donors could give with even greater confidence.
If BuckHunger can get this accreditation as a part of their menu of future activities? That’d ROCK. : )
