The Face of Truth

The Face of Truth, Jessel Miller

This year, many of my new paintings have great meaning and emotion for me.
"The Face of Truth"

was an abstract image at first and I thought it was done.

All the news about hunger happening across our country and the world filled my soul with a silent pain and suddenly this precious child's face appeared. I needed to put a face to the form and express my desire to reach out to the those who have to give to those less fortunate.

The Face of Truth detail, Jessel Miller

We support the local food bank supplying all the extra eggs from our farm.
Napa Food Bank .

Just recently I became aware of another organization needing our help called
Feed the Children

I believe putting a face to hunger is the best way to align with the greater good and help us open our hearts and pocket books in support of these brilliant causes.

So today as we enjoy our Thanks Giving Meals and Moments know that your kind generosity will put a meal on the table of our Neighbors in Need.

A portion of the proceeds of sales of PRODUCT of this image go to the both causes mentioned.

Napa Valley Food Bank: Our Mission Statement
We assist people to become (or remain) self-sufficient by lessening the stress of meeting their basic needs. We provide food to low-income families, individuals, seniors and to other organizations serving the poor. We have four different programs - Emergency food pantries located in Napa, Calistoga, St. Helena, Lake Berryessa, Angwin and American Canyon. The Natural Source is a culinary and community garden project. The Senior Brown Bag enables seniors over the age of 60 to remain independent by giving them a "brown bag" with 10-14 food items twice a month. USDA Surplus Food allows the food bank to administer 6-8 nonperishable food staples to low-income Napa residents once per month at 9 locations. On Fridays we give out any surplus food items so they do not go to waste due to our fairly small warehouse space. There is no eligibility requirement for this "give-away". Customarily there are 12-14 items, including perishable items such as dairy or produce that won't last for distribution the following week.
