"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

Love Feeds: I NEED YOUR HELP!

VOTE FOR OUR TEAM'S PROPOSAL: LOVE FEEDS.


We are representing not only Auburn University but also the state of Alabama and if we progress to the next round we will represent the United States!


What is it?

How do we encourage people to make better decisions about the food they eat?
How do we identify the correlation between starvation and obesity?
These are the questions "Love Feeds" is based upon.
Those struggling with food insecurity turn to food banks to provide. Unfortunately, the majority of donations food banks receive often times create the obesity and malnutrition we see. Alabama is both the second hungriest and second most obese state in the United States. We will begin our project's research here.
After we have a grasp on what the problem with donations is, we will turn to those who donate: the community and faith based organizations. We will call them to action using scripture such as James 2:15-17, "If a brother or sister lacks food and one of you says, "go in peace," and yet do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? Faith if it has no works is dead."
After we call them to help fight the war on hunger we will equip them with a "Donate This, Not That" guide.
We plan do enact this course of action at local, state-wide, national, and global levels.
Join us as we tell the world the Love Feeds!
WARRR on hunger, hey!
