WOW Partners for Hunger Relief with Belmont University
|
EMI Christian Music Group, Provident Music Group and Word Entertainment have long collaborated in the marketing and distribution of WOW compilation projects. This year the companies extend their alliance through a charitable event called “WOW Shares.” On December 10 the collective staff of the three companies, together with students from Belmont University, will sponsor a “food packaging event” benefitting non-profit hunger-relief organization, Feed My Starving Children (FMSC). Minnesota-based FMSC delivers food around the world to malnourished children in schools, orphanages, refugee camps and hospitals. (http://www.fmsc.org)
Hundreds of employees from each of the three companies, along with Belmont University employees and students, have signed up to work in shifts packing specially formulated meals in assembly-line fashion. Each FMSC meal provides the key nutrients a child needs to survive and thrive.
Packing sessions, each beginning with a 10 minute overview of FMSC’s work around the world, will take place at the following times on Thursday, December 10 in the Curb Event Center on Belmont’s Campus:
Packing Session No. 1: 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Lunch & Concert: 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Packing Session No. 2: 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Packing Session No. 3: 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Packing Session No. 4: 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Over the Noon-1:00 p.m. lunch break, Brandon Heath (Reunion Records/Provident Music Group), Francesca Battistelli (Fervent Records/Word Entertainment) and Josh Wilson (Sparrow/EMI CMG Label Group) will perform a concert for volunteers.
