Today is our very first Battle of the Bands event! Ten bands from all over Northeast Texas are battling it out for one reason: to help feed families in need.

 

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Texas is ranked third in the nation for having the highest percentage of families who are "food insecure." Food insecurity is defined as a family being uncertain of having, or being unable to acquire, enough food for all household members because they have insufficient money and other resources for food.

 

One of the Hartman House Foundation's primary motives is to prevent hopelessness. If an American family is forced to choose between feeding their family and paying utilities to survive, we need to step up and step out! Tonight's benefit concert will help us raise funds for our 6th annual Thanksgiving Harvest, where we will feed 1000 families this year, if not more!

 

In order to do this, we need your help. We do a lot of work in developing nations, but we cannot ignore the amount of families struggling to survive in our own backyard. Tune into tonight's live broadcast from Caddo Mills, Texas where you can view the Battle of the Bands event live from your computer screen. We ask that you donate any amount to help us feed these families. Click here to watch last years Thanksgiving Harvest.

 

In partnership with FISH ministries we will provide families with 15lb frozen turkeys, Thanksgiving fixings, groceries, and the basic necessities they need to feed their families for up to two weeks. I'm sure you've heard this a lot, but every little bit really does help. Unable to donate? Simply spread the word. Our goal is to reach $5000 by the end of the night. Let's go!
