Dave Matthews giving back

He’s helping families in Hampton Roads

PORTSMOUTH, Va. - A musician is stepping up to help feed families in Hampton Roads.

The Dave Matthews Band is offering a pretty big prize to people who are willing to donate to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia.

If you donate a can of food or more you’ll be entered into a drawing to win front row tickets to his concert this Friday. You’ll also get a chance to win a “meet and greet” with the band.

WAVY TV10 reported last evening:
“A rise in need and drop in donations has the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia issuing an urgent plea for help. In the past year, the Foodbank says it has helped 330,000 people, up 32% from the previous fiscal year. Marianne Smith, Chief Development Officer for the Foodbank, says food and monetary donations have dropped significantly over the past two months. She is asking community members and businesses to host food drives. You can deliver donations directly to the Foodbank or one of its many drop-off sites.”

Patsy DeLacey is an inspiration to us all. This high school Girl Scout is transforming the tragedy of losing her mother into the miracle of life by donating grown produce from her garden to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia’s neighbors in need. Her mother was a huge advocate of the Foodbank’s work and her memory lives on in the tradition Patsy has chosen to continue by helping hungry citizens of our region.

Here at the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia, we have seen the rates of those who need our help skyrocket. Last year, we served almost 250,000 individuals. This year, with 2 months of agency reporting to be calculated, we have already served over 330,000! And these people aren’t who you think they are…these are folks who sit next to you in church, those who you pass at work, people who stand behind you in the post office. The economy has affected each of us in different ways, but for some, decisions like buying medicine or putting food on the table is an everyday struggle. We need a mass movement to end hunger here in America; we’re thrilled that President Obama is keeping his eye on this worthy cause.
