mission statement

It was a "Concert For Cause" as the Joplin Globe Newspaper published. Five Bands to perform at Quapaw Casino & Resort. Because of this one event that took place, Hunger Aid was born. The first Hunger Aid event took place on February 23, 2014 in Miami, Oklahoma in an effort to save a Food Pantry from being shut down. The money raised supported 2 food pantries and a local homeless shelter.

When Founder Joseph Bourgeois met Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones in December 2014 through a mutual friend, both realized then between Hunger Aid and Sticky Fingaz "Idea" for H.E.L.P., both BRAND names would be names everyone in the world could relate to. In the years that followed, Hunger Aid has grown to be a International Organization.

Hunger Aid was created to provide funding to local nonprofits that impact their communities the most by using entertainment. At the same time, Hunger Aid was created to assist in educating, research, and develop new ways to grow healthy food for future generations. H.E.L.P. is the "Purpose" behind the "Cause" for Hunger Aid to improve the quality of life. A "Hand Up" is better than a "Hand Out."

President John F. Kennedy said, "Ask not what your Country can do for you... ask what you can do for your Country." Hunger Aid is for everyone, and we want to know what you can do to H.E.L.P. in your local community too. Beside entertainment, we are much like the new "Peace Corp of America" always looking for ways to better life. We use entertainment for many things such as earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, tsunamis, why not Hunger Relief?
