1919 Media Gives Back
1919 Media Gives Back was created to bring immediate relief to families struggling with food insecurity during this difficult time. While we are not a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are not tax-deductible, every dollar raised will go directly toward feeding families in Houston and Chicago. Our commitment is simple — community helping community, with full transparency and compassion.
Our Prayer: Troubles Don't Last Always
As you walk through this difficult season, we pray that God bless you, sustain you, and keep you—not only fed physically, but nourished spiritually. Our grandmothers taught us that feeding on God’s faithfulness means remembering that He walks with us and fights for us to give us the victory.
​
He said, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, through prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to Him. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds.” -- Philippians 4:6-7
​
So today, we pray that His peace surrounds you, that your immediate needs be satisfied, and that you be blessed.
Amen.
