Florida Music Food Initiative, Inc. (FMFI) was formed for the purpose of producing a collection of songs by Florida songwriters for a CD to generate funds in support of individuals and families experiencing hunger and homelessness. All sales of the CD and donations to FMFI will go to organizations in Florida that provide food and/or shelter to those in need, less only direct expenses of producing the CD. All individuals participating in this project are donating their time and talent. An ongoing full and open accounting of all funds raised and distributed
will be posted on the FMFI website http://www.floridamusicfoodinitiative.org/. Because of the tremendous response of songwriters, the initial compilation will consist of two CD’s within one case which will be called “AM I MY BROTHERS’ KEEPER?”

SongsForFood
The songs being produced for the CD are by Florida-based songwriters and performing artists, some of whom have years of national and international experience. Many are award winning, and some have performed with, and written songs for, major recording artists. Participating writers (in alphabetical order by first name) include:
