Music Restocks Second Harvest Shelves
Looking for something fun to do this weekend? How about a full day of music?
Every year during the holidays, many people think about the hunger issue in their area. Food barrels appear at the entry and exit doors of supermarkets. Radio and TV ads ask us to give food to those in need. The thought of someone going hungry on a “food holiday,” and the reality that children might not have a family meal, inspires everyone to dig deeper into their pockets and give more to address... hunger.
The reality is that many people are going hungry at any time of the year. This thought should fuel our passion for making sure people have enough to eat all year. RESTOCK MUSIC FESTIVAL is an event that works to creatively raise food donations to feed the hungry. By teaming with Second Harvest Food Bank the organizers are helping to ensure families have plenty of food for the early months of the new year.
RESTOCK Music Festival is hosted by Manda Rose Music and will be held at the National Guard Armory in Hohenwald on Jan. 21, 2012 from noon to 10:30 p.m. A ticket can be used for re-entry all day long.
Doors will open at 11 a.m. and the ticket cost varies by age. Children 9 and under are $2 and 3 food items. Students with a library card or student ID are $3 and 5 food items. Senior citizens groups are $3 and 3 food items. Adults 10 and up are $4 and 5 food items. A recommended list of food items is available.
VIP Seating has limited availability and reservations required. The cost is $10 per person or $15 per couple which includes specialty seating, dinner, and a meet and greet with the performers. Please call 931-628-8582 for reservations.
All proceeds and food items go to Second Harvest Food Bank. Here are some further details:

| Mission |
We are on a mission to "Restock" the food pantries after the holiday depletion.
Many people believe that the problems associated with hunger are confined to small pockets of society, certain areas of the country, or certain neighborhoods, but the reality is much different. In Middle Tennessee, morethan 417,000 people struggle with hunger, and staggering 1 in 4 children ishungry. Hunger is closer than you think, but so is the solution.
