Mission: We believe both music and food are essential to human life and growth. Music has the power to call forth the best in us, inspiring awareness and action when artists and audiences work together to transform the ineffable into tangible and needed food resources. Music for Food is a musician-led initiative for local hunger relief. Our concerts raise resources and awareness in the fight against hunger, empowering all musicians who wish to use their artistry to further social justice.
Results: Currently in its 7th season, Music for Food has created over 350,000 meals through donations made at concerts on behalf of more than a dozen hunger-relief organizations. More than 130 international artists have performed on Music for Food concerts throughout the country. Music for Food has chapters in 10 U.S. cities and a growing international presence. Music for Food is incorporated in the state of Massachusetts and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization in 2014 (effective date 2012).
