All Challengers Support Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary

Donations support Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary.  Our goal is to raise $50,000 to support animal rescue programs.

Beautiful Together is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2014. 

We rescue animals who have been abused, neglected or abandoned, giving them comprehensive care as we work to find them loving homes. With a focus on empathy-building and pet therapy, we connect animals in need of refuge with children living in foster care, at-risk situations or underserved environments.

Our goal is simple: To connect the vulnerable and the voiceless in purposeful ways that benefit us all.

Gorgeous BLING For All Challengers!

What Is Food Insecurity?

What is food insecurity?

Food insecurity describes a household’s inability to provide enough food for every person to live an active, healthy life. Food insecurity is one way we can measure and assess the risk of hunger. In the United States currently one in nine people struggle with hunger.

 

What causes food insecurity?

One "bad month" can be enough to plunge a household into food insecurity. Layoffs at work, unexpected car maintenance or an accident on the job can suddenly force a family to choose between buying food and paying bills. A global pandemic can dramatically heighten this vulnerability. 

That’s why many working families, including thousands of households who don’t qualify for federal nutrition assistance, depend on local food banks to help make ends meet during difficult times.
