A Letter from the Executive Director of SHS

Over the past decade it's been my honor to be a part of Strangers Helping Strangers and see it grow from a handful of food drives each year with one band into this incredible group of caring and selfless people doing food drives at hundreds of shows each year and working with hundreds of bands.

I would like to let everyone know that I notified our board of directors that I will be resigning from the Executive Director position and leaving SHS effective 8/1...

I want to thank all of those people who have over these past 10 years supported our efforts and helped us grow into what I have great faith will be an amazing organization for helping those in need.

I have great faith in this organization and the people who will take it into the new future and wish you all great luck and continued success.

I love you all and thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

Peace - Donald Pearson

Addendum: I am getting a lot of folks asking why?
- I have been running SHS for the last 10 years. I am beyond tired... I have given every once of energy and passion and my heart to this cause...
- We have a new, active and competent board of directors, new state filings and a new 501(c)(3) in process... As we move into this new chapter for SHS, we need a business person in the top spot. I am not that person even if I had anything left in me to give... I don't have the skills to run the new organization.
- It is time to let it go and let it flourish on it's own to continue to grow and help those in need everywhere there is music played...
