Vitamin Angels at Power to the Peaceful Festival. September 12 - 13, 2009

Vitamin Angels’ President and Founder, Howard Schiffer spoke on stage during the 11th Annual Power to the Peaceful Festival on Saturday, September 12, 2009 in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California.

The Vitamin Angels team was there to provide the crowd with information about our organization and the important work we are doing around the world. Many event goers stopped by and saw us at our booth to learn more and make a donation. During the festival and throughout the following week supporters were able to text the word GIVE to the number 20222 and instantly donate $5 to help 20 children receive essential micronutrients.

On Sunday, September 13 at the Power to the Peaceful Global Action Forum & Celebration presented by Michael Franti and CARE, Howard participated on the panel to discuss global hunger and food reform along with other local and international social change advocates.

Special thanks to Linda Sparrow for the wonderful photographs.
