With music as our inspiration and everyday working-class people our heroes, Food Aid envisions a transformed America in which no one person experiences hunger and every person has access to fresh and healthy food.
Food Aid's mission is to eliminate individuals and their families from experiencing hunger. We believe that food insecurity should not exist, as the right to food is a human right. Through music and entertainment, Food Aid will serve as an important funding source for interconnected community organizations and initiatives aimed at addressing food insecurity.
