Nicole Poindexter's Fundraiser
Support the Food Empowerment Project!
FEP promotes food security and equity + animal and human welfare in food industries.
This is my birthday request for donations to support this wonderful non-profit organisation. The Food Empowerment Project works hard to draw attention to important food industry issues both local and global.
Whether or not you can donate, please sign the petition in the first link :).
