Feeding America estimates that an additional 17.1 million people could be food-insecure in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic — for a total of 54.3 million people, or 1 in every 6 people — a 46% increase over the 37.2 million people who were food-insecure prior to the COVID-19 crisis. “Many people are struggling with hunger during this unprecedented time, including children, families and seniors,” said Dan Nisbet, VP of Development at Feeding America. “Feeding America member food banks are on the ground helping to address the increased need in their communities,” said We are so grateful for United Stations Media Networks and the talent involved in the Rock for Relief benefit concert, which will raise funds to provide meals to people who need them most.”
Kristin Verbitsky, Director of Storic, commented, “We are so pleased to put on Rock For Relief in order to give back to our fellow Americans during such a tumultuous time. I want to thank the incredible talent who graciously donated their time to make this happen. I know that music lovers are missing live concerts, myself included, and I’m hoping we can fill that void just a little bit this July 4th weekend and raise funds for Feeding America.” [Special thanks to the lovely and talented Ms. Roxy Myzal]
