Worship Facilities Conference & Expo (WFX) gives back by donating a portion of its proceeds to Harvest Aid, the WFX 2007 Official Charity

Framingham, MA − September 7, 2007 − Worship Facilities Conference & Expo announced today that they have named Harvest Aid as their official charity of the 2007 event, taking place October 24-26 in Atlanta, Georgia. The organization will feature their innovative aid delivery unit on the WFX exhibit floor.

Harvest Aid, a non-profit group whose objective is to mobilize aid organizations through unique humanitarian and disaster relief solutions, is under the leadership of Founder Armando Fullwood and Director Drew Harding. Both these leaders, having spent extensive amounts of time in Ethiopia and Africa, have dedicated their lives to the humanitarian aid and disaster relief. The organization provides international relief using two main systems, Mobile Application Platform Systems (M.A.P.S.) and temporary housing systems. M.A.P.S., on display at WFX, are unique 20’ expandable chassis units that can be easily shipped by truck, air, rain and sea, and utilized for Medical, Surgical, Audio/Visual, Water Purification, Command Center and Food Distribution Purposes.

“Harvest Aid is a very remarkable organization. Their mission is to help the underprivileged and victims of natural disasters across the globe,” said Brian Blackmore, Editor-in-chief and Publisher of Church Production Magazine and Worship Facilities magazine, presenters of WFX. “We are very excited to help spread awareness of their great efforts.” Harvest Aid representatives will be onsite at WFX 2007 to feature their M.A.P.S. and to inform attendees about the charitable work they provide.

“WFX is proud to bring such a charity to our event. What Harvest Aid has done is fantastic, and there is no limit to what they will be able to do for the less fortunate in the future,” said Nicole Derany, WFX Show Director. WFX will donate a portion of the proceeds from both the church tours and the conference program to Harvest Aid.
