Hunger is rising. Over 14% of U.S. households now face food insecurity.

At the same time, more than $1 billion in federal support for food banks and school meals has been cut.

Music for Food is responding by turning music into meals, empowering musicians to fight hunger through performance. To sustain this mission and maintain the operational capacity to organize impactful events, we need your support.

We’ve raised $5,000 toward our $15,000 goal by June 30. Will you help us close the gap?
