RE: 2004 Hip-Hop for Hunger Thanksgiving Food Drive
The economic and unemployment hardships within our community prohibit
many low-income families from celebrating Thanksgiving in a traditional
manner. Unfortunately, the city of Madison does not possess enough
resources to amend these ubiquitous situations. As a community, we must
recognized these situations and extend a supportive hand to help these
financially challenged families.

The members of M.U.M.A. are working hard to make the Hip-Hop for Hunger
campaign a fun and informative event. In addition to the food drive,
the occasion will also host various Madison organizations dedicated to
improving the health and financial well being of our community.
Furthermore, the event will have family activities and entertainment
performances by local Madison artists. Through our efforts, M.U.M.A.
hopes to promote unity by bringing the citizens of Madison together to
celebrate Thanksgiving, hip-hop and the future of our community.
M.U.M.A. would like to extend a wonderful invitation of participation
to you and your business or organization in helping us in this worthy
and charitable cause. We would ask that all donated items be received
