It’s not every day that we see our gospel LABELS being the church.  Let’s all agree to support this effort in any way we can…

Word has it that EMI Gospel (and its parent company, EMI Christian Music Group) are among several music companies that have partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank in Nashville, TN, to provide food for the city’s flood victims.

Apparently, the food bank lost A LOT of perishable food in the flood, and it now struggles to meet the many ongoing needs of Nashville residents.  EMI has already collected 8,000 pounds of food and they’re hoping to TRIPLE that by the end of July.

Check out the letter below from EMI Gospel President Ken Pennell and the staff at EMI.  Then, pray… and let’s act.

Dear Friend,

Due to the overwhelming need in the Nashville community as a result of the flood of 2010, EMI Christian Music Group, Provident Music, and Word Entertainment Group are partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank to provide food to those that suffered serious losses during the flood.  Second Harvest lost $200,000 of perishable food during the flood.  They need help to replenish their food stock so they can continue to help the hungry.  Since the beginning of July, we have collected canned and boxed food but we still need to do more.  If you live in Nashville and would like to contribute non-perishable food, let us know – we will pick it up.  If you don’t live in Nashville but would like to help, you can order food for Second Harvest Food Bank at:

When you place an order, please click the drop down menu called “company” and select Publishing/Gospel so they will know you are an associate of EMI Gospel.

Thank you in advance for your help to those who suffered from the Nashville Flood.  Please forward this note to anyone you think would like to participate.
