LA Musician's Love Trade Helps the Homeless

Jef Joslin grew up in a small town in Tennessee. Like many kids he knew, Jef grew up in a faith based home, he was very athletic and played football throughout high school, even accepting a scholarship to play in college.

Despite his obligation to friends and family, as well as his commitment to uphold his athletic scholarship, Jef began exploring a newfound passion for music. He took a leap of faith by following his creative passions to the Los Angeles, where he now lives with his wife, Ciera. The couple often spend hours on the beach near the Venice boardwalk, enjoying the ocean and the laid back Southern California atmosphere. The environment is not only inspiring for them as artists, but also allows them an opportunity to befriend the homeless, a population in California that is often ignored.

Jef has not only stayed true to his roots musically, but also as a man of faith, by starting Love Trade, a grass roots effort he and his wife lead to provide the homeless population with a small package of essentials, a grocery store card and hygienic products. They not only donate life's necessities, but also their time.

"What's unique about Love Trade is that it's about the acts of love," Cierra explained. "It's more than the actual physical things that these people are receiving."

Watch how this couple is helping those who have been dismissed by society by letting them know they are loved, cared for and accepted. Sometimes compassion doesn't need to come in the form of grandiose gestures, but something small - a smile, a laugh, a sincere conversation - just to say that you are cared for and you matter.

The Art of Fishing

By taking photographs of his crew and all they encountered out on the water, Joel felt he was giving his role of fisherman some relevance His images range from what's being caught, the process of catching these sea creatures, the sun sets, the splashing of waves and much more.

Hungry Harvest is Rescuing Ugly Produce To Feed The Needy

** OGTV encourages everyone to get involved in National Eat Your Vegetables Day, even if the produce doesn't look perfect. After all it's all in the flavor! **

Every year 20 billion pounds of produce goes to waste, never leaving the farm, based on appearance. Too big, too small, misshapen, whatever the reason, healthy, edible food is left to rot while millions go hungry. Hungry Harvest is an organization that aims to reduce food waste while getting quality produce to those in need.

The CEO and Co-Founder Evan Lutz started this company while still in college. He had the brainstorm that he could solve two problems at once by using one to solve the other. "I started a project that used one farmer's surplus produce to sell to college students at the University of Maryland," he explained. "I set up a farm stand in the basement of a dorm. After 6 months, 500 customers were coming to our stand every week. That's when I knew this idea could really take off."

Celebrating Birthdays for Hospitalized Kids

** Our first of OGTV's "GOOD STORIES" for the week is about a couple of friends who are making sure that a hospitalized child's birthday gets all the bells and whistles they deserve! **

Kids rarely get to celebrate when they are in the hospital and having a birthday there is not the ideal situation. After seeing her godson spend some time in the hospital, surrounded by kids who were having their birthdays without the laughter and joy that comes with their special day, Stefanie Grimm had an idea. Even if you are hospitalized, there is no reason that you shouldn't have a birthday party! This generous thought was the seed that grew into The Confetti Foundation.
