The Founder Garry Holman Challenge Campaign.

Despite the power of our great nation, one of our nations most serious health issues today is hunger. With the current economic conditions nation wide an alarming amount of families our suffering from mal-nutrition in our own backyards. We the people must look within ourselfs and ask ourself; " How can I help Build a Better Tomorrow? "

Our vision of eliminating hunger is a moral issue driven by not just the compassion for helping others, but the goal of Building a Better Tomorrow, Strengthening the Family and making a self sustaining community with no hunger.

Hunger is a practical issue involving the future of millions of our children and their families. Chronic hunger and malnutrition take a heavy toll on our children's lives. The days missed from school, inability to focus in class, stunted growth, and and frequent illness jeopardize their education and their futures as productive citizens.

Hunger is also a problem that increase the family spending on health care, reducing the productivity of America's workforce and hampering the ability of our nation to compete in the world economy.

On December 31st 2011 Master Garry Holman made a challenge to a few friends to give up something like a pack of cigarettes a week and donate the cost to NORMAL Inc. for 1 year. His goal was to raise $201,200.00 with in one year to help the growing numbers of clients due to a really sluggish economy.

What started as a simple conversation has turn into a challenge to all who want to make a difference. The Challenge Campaign ask you to donate money you would spend on coffee, beer, cigarettes, sodas etc. for one week to NORMAL Inc. The Challenge Campaign has a two fold process, by not drinking for one week you not only help NORMAL Inc. help the feed the hungry, homeless, at-risk youth and their families but you will also begin a healthier life style.

Here is how this works I stop and buy a cup of coffee and a newspaper seven days a week and I spend about $3.00 a day, seven days a week, so $21.00 a week I donate to NORMAL Inc. for one month $84.00 just from me.

Now think if 24 of us took the challenge at $84.00 a month, we would raise $2016.00 a month towards the goal of $201,200.00. As you can see 24 people can make our goal obtainable if we all do our part. Now that's just 24 of us. Can you image what 2400 of us can do? Let me show you;

This is based on one month contributions:

I guess you can see where I am going with this, just for $3.00 a day for one month you contribute $84.00 and those dollars will go along way in helping those less fortunate.
