Bluegrass Battles Hunger

Bluegrass Battles Hunger 2-day benefit bluegrass festival for Second Harvest Community Food Bank. September 27-28, 2024. Created in 2009 as a Leadership St. Joseph!

Joseph project, Bluegrass Battles Hunger is an annual concert event featuring local, regional, and national acts with all proceeds supporting Second Harvest Community Food Bank. In 2023, we are proud to be planning our 14th annual festival at Coleman Hawkins Park in downtown St. In the last 13 years, we have donated more than $31,500 and collected more than 11,000 pounds of food to support Second

Harvest. Second Harvest Community Food Bank supports hunger relief agencies in Northwest Missouri
and Northeast Kansas. The food bank, a member of Feeding America, is the areaโ€™s link between
an abundant food supply and people in need. Mark your calendars for September 22-23 for this year's Bluegrass Battles Hunger! We look forward to seeing you there!
