Christian singer Blanca will give a special performance for Food For The Poor’s fifth annual National Celebration ‘We Are One,’ a virtual event to deliver 10 million meals to hungry children and families in Latin America and the Caribbean.

In a recent interview with FFTP, Blanca said music has the power to bring people together and that she hopes her performance will inspire others to join FFTP in the fight to alleviate poverty and hunger and to support families in need.

“In putting this event together, I think of my own life. I grew up in a broken home with my dad addicted to drugs, and my mom basically raising us as a single mother,” Blanca said.

“It wasn’t easy, but the grace of God and the tiny miracles, like church communities bringing groceries to our doorstep or friends inviting me to Bible study, shaped who I am today,” she continued. “These acts of generosity are the foundation of my faith and connect me deeply to the mission of Food For The Poor.”

For FFTP’s We Are One, Blanca will perform three songs, including “Goodness of God,” in Spanish, “Something Better,” and “New Day.”

Blanca Elaine Callahan, known professionally as Blanca, began her career as a member of the Christian hip-hop group Group 1 Crew, where she gained recognition for her powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence.

In 2013, Blanca embarked on a solo career, releasing her debut self-titled album in 2015. Her music blends contemporary Christian, pop, and Latin influences, often addressing themes of faith, hope, and personal growth.

“In this season, I’ve been challenging myself to look beyond my own anxieties and to focus on how I can help those in need,” Blanca said. “If we all adopted this mentality, the work we could do for the kingdom of God would be tremendous. This is why partnering with Food For The Poor is so important to me – it’s about expanding our hearts for things that matter to God.”
