Rock for Hunger was started by a group of students at the University
of Central Florida. With the passion of making a difference in the
community, and changing people's life, these students choose music
as their driving force of getting the community involved to end
poverty. Their community is the city where they reside, and the world
in which they live. Starting city by city, state by state, country to
country, and continent to continent, this group hopes to inspire people
of all cultures to join them with music and in peace, and end the
growing problem of poverty. Only by everyone working together we
can make the world a better place. Through a series of benefit
concerts, we hope to raise awareness about local and global Hunger
& Homelessness, and end poverty. Music gets people together, music
can send a powerful message, and music can spread peace. "Music
can change the world, because music can change people" - Bono.
Rock for Hunger is working on building the bridge between other
nonprofit Organizations, companies, churches, and individuals who
all see to end Poverty! Rock for Hunger is currently developing
programs that will help provide food, shelter, education, job/business
skills, life skills (such as budgeting, etc.), and many other needs that
will help willing individuals break their cycle of poverty, and remain
out of it.. In Orlando, FL we have started a group that goes to bring
food, clothes, entertainment, and companionship to the homeless
every Monday. Our goal is to inspire people of all walks of life to start
groups such as these in their communities all over the United States.
It is highly important that we care for each other, and end the
problems within our community. We can not end poverty worldwide
without being able to end poverty in our own country.
Only by working together as one community in peace, can we end
poverty in our own country. There are over 75 Million people living in
Poverty in the US, of which 25% are Children!
