Why Now?
Mostly because I just thought of it! New real estate developments have new streets. Those streets get named. One night when I was working on fundraising emails for our Christmas Turkey drive, I thoughts of the idea to auction off a street name to feed people.
We had just passed our deadline to turn in the proposed names of the streets of the Forestbrook development in Paris, Texas. Surely, deadlines could be extended for a good cause…
I spoke to Nathan Spaulding of Lone Star Planned Developments; as well as the manager of the City of Paris, Texas. Both of them were thrilled to use naming of a street to feed people; and were willing to move that deadline for us! Next, I spoke to Chris Heney, who is donating the website; William Ekeroth and Paul Salfen who are providing media and promotion.
Then, Jeffrey Rohrer and Scarlett Valente provided assistance on presentation and visuals. With the help of these great friends… Thus was born Charity Road the merging of a previously unmonetized real restart asset with my passion for feeding people. May this project bring attention to the incredible number of hungry children in our great nation; and motivate more good people to join us.
