Hunger Bus

hungerbuslogobWebsite  Facebook  

Our mission is to inspire, raise funds, non-perishable food items and hunger awareness, working towards ending hunger through musical performance, staging concerts and events to benefit food banks, pantries and other non-profit agencies.

Our goal is to perform annually from coast to coast over a hundred “Stop Hunger in America” benefits. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the local food bank. The majority of the food banks are part of the Feeding America network. Chakulla and other artists will perform at a variety of venues ranging from Food Bank Open Houses, coffee houses, music festivals, to school auditoriums. In addition, Chakulla will be playing at Whole Foods throughout the country.

There is an active Kickstarter funding project to provide the annual operating expenses for The Hunger Bus.

As you may be aware, many people throw out a good deal of “stuff” when they move.  Unfortunately, a lot of this “stuff” is food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than thrown away.  By teaming up with relocation companies across the country, Move For Hunger is creating one of the nation’s largest year-round service programs.  Our movers offer to pick up the unwanted, non-perishable food items from those who are moving and deliver it to their local food banks.

Ample Harvest

Works to reduce food waste by connecting gardeners to their local food pantries so that excess garden bounty can be shared with those in need. There are over 40 million Americans growing food in home or community gardens and we’re making it easy for them to find a food pantry in their community that desperately needs fresh food to distribute to hungry families. Garden by garden, home and community gardeners and other growers are fighting hunger and malnutrition in America.
