Fishwrappers™ Names Int’l Relief Organization—Food for the Hungry—as “Point One” Partner

April 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Committed to giving back, one shirt at a time, Fishwrappers—an Atlanta-based Christian apparel company that creates t-shirts specifically designed to start conversations about Jesus Christ—donates 10 percent of its net proceeds to organizations that provide physical and Christ-centered spiritual care.. Inspired by Scripture to serve “the least of these” Fishwrappers has named Food for the Hungry the first benefactor of Point One—the outreach arm of Fishwrappers.

“From the beginning, Fishwrappers was intentionally structured to not only share the gospel message of Christ but to also share the practical love of the Lord with people in need,” said founder, Matt Mitchell.  “Through Point One, Fishwrappers is able to provide for others with its ministry partnerships like Food for the Hungry.  We chose Food for the Hungry because of their dedication to providing Christ-centered care around the world.”

Food for the Hungry, which is based out of Phoenix, Ariz., serves the world’s most disadvantaged people in more than 26 nations.  With a focus on providing emergency relief, implementing development programs, serving churches and families, Food for the Hungry was a natural fit for Fishwrappers’ Point One program.

"I want to personally commend Fishwrappers for responding to our Lord's call to serve the least of these through their Point One program," said Food for the Hungry President, Ben Homan. "Food for the Hungry is thrilled to have been selected by Fishwrappers as a partner in meeting physical and spiritual needs worldwide."
