People are sure looking for change these days. Not only did they vote Barack Obama into the white house, they are also on a mission to make the world a better place. What a better place to start than our own backyard of Downtown Orlando.

Rock for Hunger, a local 501(c)3 nonprofit, continues to make a difference in the Central Florida community. From feeding 150+ individuals every week to helping with employment, housing and child education, to throwing concerts for awareness and hope, Rock For Hunger is going to end homelessness one person at a time through music and peace.

This Saturday, November 15th marks the 3rd annual Rock For Hunger Festival. This year’s festivities will take place at The Plaza Theatre in Downtown Orlando and feature over 20 local and indie bands sprinkled in-between chart topping hip-hopper Kardinal Offishall. Rock For Hunger Fest kicks off at 1pm with a street party and art festival and then moves inside for 10 hours of music, facts, raffles and more.

Tickets for the event are only $10 in advance and $20 at the door. What’s even better is that every $10 ticket sold will help feed 40 hungry people right here in Orlando. Whether you work or play downtown, you have no doubt seen the homeless situation throughout downtown, now is your chance to do something about it. Even if you cannot make the event, Rock For Hunger is accepting donations to continue the work they started 3 years ago on the University of Central Florida campus.

Get your tickets here, right now or at:

And 10,000 Villages

This show serves as an awareness point for the Central Florida community. However, on November 16th, poverty and homelessness do not end. Rock For Hunger still needs volunteers and help with donations, cooking, job training and other aspects. We are always looking for new smiling faces that we can make into Rock Stars and make the people we serve feel like Rock Stars.

See you on the 15th and get ready to Rock For Hunger.
