Barber Shop Talk

Hello friends, As you know the economy is at the top of the news almost every day. And it's usually not good news: especially for America's working poor. They are in more dire straits than ever -- and many are losing their jobs every day.

This Christmas, more Americans than ever won't be able to celebrate. Families are relying on gifts from friends like you to help feed their children. Even working parents who don't live below the "official" poverty line can't afford their basic needs — food, shelter and utilities.

Way before Wall Street made headlines this fall, poverty was seeping into homes all across this country. A new study shows that by 2006, the number of low income working families had increased by 350,000 and nearly 1 in 4 new jobs paid poverty-level wages.

Please give from the heart this holiday season so we can provide food to feed hurting children and overwhelmed families.

Today moms and dads are wondering how they will feed their children. When you send the equivalent cost of one-time Christmas dinner, your gift this Christmas will ease hunger pains for a family for weeks or months at a time.

Please visit our website and take a few minutes to help us reach our goal of 1000 families. Please take a moment to listen to the podcast and listen to those that have supported thus far.Visit www.musicalsoulfood.com or call 1(800)627-4556. Sunday December 14th will be our last day.

Thank you for taking the time read and listen.

Merry Christmas
