We are on MISSION to "RESTOCK" the food pantries all year long
Hunger is closer than you think but so is the solution
Every year during the holidays, many people think about the hunger issue in their area. Food barrels appear at the entry and exit doors of supermarkets. Radio and TV ads ask us to give food to those in need. The thought of someone going hungry on a “food holiday,” and the reality that children might not have a family meal, inspires everyone to dig deeper into their pockets and give more to address...... hunger.

The reality is that many people are going hungry at any time of the year. This thought should fuel our passion for making sure people have enough to eat all year. RESTOCK MUSIC FESTIVAL is an event that works to creatively raise food donations to feed the hungry. By teaming with the Food Banks we are helping to ensure families have plenty of food for the entire year.
