I love it!This isn't the first time I have seen bands do this. This. What is this?
Well This is when a band comes to town and asks their fans to bring non-perishable food items and then they donate it all to a local charity.
In the case of the picture, it happened to be Harvesters. This was a picture from the concert of Hillsong United! Yes, the same Hillsong United from Austrailia. I just thought it was really cool how they were doing this and also spreading the word about their I-Heart ministry. Which I absolutely love.
But this isn't the only band I have seen do this. One of my other favorite bands, Switchfoot, does this all the time. I just think it's awesome. I guess just because it shows people how easy it is to be apart of their community just by giving something as cheap as a canned good. (at least for us it's cheap, if we are going to these concerts).
And it's also a great way of advertising a great charity in the area. If there happened to be a fan in the crowd that night then could go online or even talk to maybe a representative from that night. I love it. I hope that more bands will do it, and will continue to do it.
How cool would it be if every concert raised 500 non-perishable food item that came into town. I don't know if they would have to worry about food donations. I mean i know that every penny is appreciated and well spent. But that would just be great for people to start learning it's not hard to be apart of their community that need help.
