Art with a Purpose

The year was 2012 and the news was repeating the message that the statistics were clear, kids who take part in regular family dinners get better grades and stay away from cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs. Doctors and educators filled the airways making the push to get families back to the table.  But we asked, What if mom’s shift is during the dinner hour or you just don’t have enough to eat at home?

As Touching Miami with Love (TML) creates a home away from home for teens in Overtown in our programs we decided to begin a new collaborative project, Art That Feeds. The goal was to keep dinner first on the agenda at TML.  Through the Art that Feeds project, established local artists put art on all kinds of items to help put food on the plates of Overtown’s youth. This creative work is presented at local events and fundraisers across Miami and the US to support Touching Miami with Love’s evening dinners for Miami’s hungry youth.
