"Within the first twenty minutes of sending an email to friends and family, I was receiving notifications of donations and the support has continued to come in!"
Lucy Warren, a senior at Ohio Wesleyan University, has raised over $400 for WILL WORK FOR FOOD thanks to the support of her family and friends that have sponsored her work effort. Her commitment to helping her own community and fighting child malnutrition made her a perfect person for this week's Participant of the Week. We wanted to get to know Lucy a little better and find out how she was so successful in finding sponsors. Here's what she had to say:
Q: What's your favorite TV show?
A: The Office
Q: What's your favorite sports team?
A: Washington Redskins, even though we're struggling this season!
Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
A: I would love to go to Africa, but I would also really like to go back to India.
Q: How did you find out about WILL WORK FOR FOOD?
A: I found out about WWFF from my roommate and close friend, Lily Strumwasser, who is also the WWFF Campus Representative at Ohio Wesleyan. She got me interested in this wonderful organization.
Q: How have you raised the money so far?
A: I contacted family and friends by email and explained what WILL WORK FOR FOOD is all about. I had an overwhelming amount of support from both family and friends. Within the first twenty minutes of sending the initial email, I was receiving notifications of donations and the support has continued to come in!
Q: What specifically are you doing for your work effort?
A: In February, a group of Ohio Wesleyan students, including myself, are planning an event for the local families in Deleware, OH who are in need. The event will include food, games, music, and fun for all ages!
Q: Why were you inspired to get involved in WILL WORK FOR FOOD?
A: I believe this organization has created an outstanding opportunity for students to independently stand up and reach out to those in need by making a difference at home in their own communities while addressing the international malnutrition crisis.
Q: If you could describe WILL WORK FOR FOOD in one word, what would it be?
A: Progressive
Lucy's experience is a perfect example of how you can have an impact in your local community while fighting child malnutrition with WILL WORK FOR FOOD.
