FARM STEW | Working to End Hunger Throughout the World farmstew.org UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE!! The not-for-profit organization I have founded, FARM STEW International, applied for 501c3 status. It usually takes up to 9 months to be approved. LESS than a WEEK after submitting, we got our approval from the IRS. We are officially charitable and TAX deductible! :) God can move mountains, even mountains of paperwork in government offices.
