There is no greater opportunity to prevent hunger and poverty than providing the opportunity for an education to the poorest among us. Educating society about the different aspects of hunger and poverty and what they can do to help in their own way is also essential to the mission of empowering individuals. These endowments are to be used by non-profits who either provide avenues for education or educate those that can help end hunger and poverty.
