Be a Contributor

Today I photographed the Wells Fargo annual Day of Giving breakfast. It was held at the Martha O'Bryan Center in East Nashville. The Middle TN region of Wells Fargo gave $1000 each to 11 worthy charities today as part of bank's national corporate giving initiative. A few of the recipients were; Ronald McDonald House, American Cancer Society and The Martha O'Bryan Center. One organization that is near and dear to my heart that was recognized was "The Contributor" otherwise known as the "homeless newspaper". I was surprised to hear just what an impact selling the newspaper has on our city's homeless population. I was also glad to learn about other programs associated with The Contributor designed to educate it's vendors. So please...when you see a homeless person waving a paper on a street corner, please stop and buy it for a dollar or 5 :) You'd be surprised what a difference that money makes to the homeless.
