​Poetry X Hunger
​
Bringing a World of Poets to the Anti-Hunger Cause

DONATE HERE
​From President Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1953 Chance For Peace Address:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

A Message from Hiram Larew, Poetry X Hunger Founder:

Announcing an Important Transition ​

Poetry X Hunger has recently become a component fund of Chesapeake Charities which is designated by the IRS as a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. (Non Profit Tax ID #30-0254793).

What does this transition mean? Among other things, it means that Poetry X Hunger is now able to accept donations to support poetry's role in fighting hunger. Donations may be made here. Donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.  Please check with your financial representative.

A copy of Chesapeake Charities' current financial statement is available upon request by contacting Chesapeake Charities at 101 Log Canoe Circle, Suite O, Stevensville, MD 21666 or (410) 643-4020. Documents and information submitted under the Maryland Charitable Solicitation Act are also available.
