A BENEFIT FOR: FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY & SOULFEST
Food for the Hungry seeks to end ALL forms of human poverty by going to the hard places and walking with the world’s most vulnerable people. We’ve been serving through purposeful relief and development for over four decades. We believe in the fight against poverty, which is why we serve the vulnerable in over 20 countries globally. We’re moved and inspired by our Christian belief
that every person has intrinsic value, and that it’s our responsibility to advocate for the poor and marginalized without regard to race, creed or nationality and without adverse distinction of any kind. We serve on the basis of need alone. We strive to respect the culture and customs of the people we serve in order to preserve their humanity and dignity.
“The purpose of SoulFest is to celebrate God’s love and encourage all who attend to live from the inside out as soul-connected, risk-taking Believers in God’s love. A clearer understanding of God’s love will increase our capacity to love ourselves, those with whom we live, and our neighbors. Our capacity to take action against any injustice will increase when we truly believe that God’s love is real, for everyone, prevails and is unconditional." — Dan Russell, Co-Founder of SoulFest
SoulFest is New England's premier Christian music & justice Festival held annually in Gilford, NH at Gunstock Mountain Resort. 3 Days, 4 Stages, 40 artists & speakers per day! COVID-19 has impacted us all and threatens the future of LIVE events.
