Fall Benefit Concert A Huge Success!

A special thank you to Lucinda Williams and her band BUICK 6 for making this year’s two-night benefit concert, a huge success. This was our biggest concert event to date and we raised enough funds to provide 15,000 individuals with groceries for a week!

For the past 7 years, our benefit concert has offered music fans and anti-hunger advocates an unforgettable night of talent while serving as a major source of revenue to meet the needs of those we serve. This year was no exception and Lucinda Williams entertained us with her music as well as her intimate stories of song origins and heartfelt soul searching throughout her many years as an incomparable artist. We are grateful for her kindness, her talent and her support of our mission to end hunger in our communities.

We look forward to seeing you at next year's concert! If you wish join our email list for notices about future events, please contact Lauren at Laurenb@gobeyondhunger.org
