Pop singer Beyonce Knowles has a new scheme for her fans - donate food for the hungry, and win a chance to meet the superstar. She has collaborated with her friend pastor Rudy Rasmus, a minister in Houston in Texas, to launch a food drive before her concert in her hometown on Saturday.
The first 1,000 fans to donate non-perishable food items will be conferred an autographed picture of Beyonce, and a raffle ticket that may win them a chance to meet the singer.
   "Hunger affects every community in the United States, so I'm using my tour to bring attention to domestic hunger," Beyonce was quoted as saying. "I'm joining forces with Pastor Rudy to fight hunger," she added.
   The singer knows how happy one feels by helping hapless people and she wants her fans to have the same experience. "Reaching out and touching lives is incredibly empowering. That's why I want my fans to experience more than my music this summer. I want them to experience the joy of making a difference by helping someone else," she said. A noble thought indeed!
