Nov 18-20 THE LOVE INITIATIVE ORGANIZES THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE, “MUSIC FOR MEALS”

The Love Initiative is organizing a region-wide food drive during the weekend prior to Thanksgiving.

Check out musicformeals.us  for  participating artists and locations.

 

From November 18-20, local artists and performers across the northeast Ohio region have pledged to collect non-perishable food items and grocery store gift cards at their shows to benefit the Cleveland and Akron-Canton Foodbanks.  The project, dubbed “Music for Meals,” will span the “Cleveland +” area, involving performance venues throughout Cleveland, Akron and Kent.

 

With the holidays approaching, those who rely on the Foodbank are more in need than ever, and the holidays are a time when those resources provided by the Foodbank are the most strained.  Cleveland has the second highest poverty rate of any big city, and together, the Cleveland and Akron-Canton Foodbanks service over 800 agencies.  The Cleveland Foodbank provides over 20 million meals every year, and the Akron-Canton Foodbank services over 170,000 people.

 

Music for Meals aims to draw attention to that need at this most crucial time of year, and to unify the performing arts community in a common cause to help the entire region.

 

A continuously updated list of participating artists, venues and performances will be posted at the following websites:  www.theloveinitiative.com, www.akronpeaceproject.org and www.zachmusic.net.
