Today….

…. 18,000 children will die of hunger
…. 852,000,000 people across the world suffer from hunger
…. 14,000,000 children in the United States suffer from hunger
…. 3,000,000,000 people around the world live on less than $2 per day
…. $118,000,000 will be spent on food purchased and then tossed by U.S. households

Tomorrow….

is what we want to change. We are a high school orchestra and an indie rock band, and we want to help change these horrific statistics. On May 1, 2009, the Chester-based Thomas Dale High School Orchestra and Richmond-based indie rock band Offering will be hosting the third annual Rock 4 Life concert. All proceeds this year will go towards hunger relief around the world (through Unicef) as well as here in the United States (through the Central Virginia Foodbank).

How can you help? Attend the concert – your ticket price of $10 can feed a hungry child for days – and bring non-perishable food items to benefit the Central Virginia Foodbank.

World hunger is a tragedy. We can help. You can help.
