About this event

On Tuesday, December 3, 2024, the world celebrates the 40th anniversary of Band-Aid's classic song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" It became the catalyst for other global musical charity events like “USA for Africa,” “Farm AID,” and “Live AID,” as well as other social justice causes like “Sun City.”

Inspired by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Harry Chapin, and Bob Geldof, plus taking into account this year is the 40th anniversary of Band-Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, I believed we could accomplish something ambitious with finding Trailblazers around the USA (and maybe the world?) to find time to work in their local food banks, soup kitchens, or homeless shelters on Tuesday, December 3, 2024 – the 40th anniversary of the recording’s release to the world.

The information below is where we will gather here in Los Angeles, CA to work at helping drive forward with an effort to end hunger, while our other Trailblazers take up the cause in their communities from coast to coast.

Together, we can build a world without hunger. We are raising funds for the global organization, WhyHunger, co-founded in 1975 by Harry Chapin. WhyHunger fuels grassroots solutions around the globe that nourish people with healthy food, protect our land and resources and put justice at the center of our food system. Learn more and give here.

Donate Here to lend financial support to WhyHunger! Our goal is to raise $25,000 for their efforts.

If you or someone you know needs help accessing food, the WhyHunger Hotline at 1-800-5-HUNGRY and online search at WhyHunger.org/FindFood helps veterans, seniors, families and working people around the country find food in their neighborhoods in times of need.

Project Angel Food prepares and delivers (3,000 daily!) healthy meals to feed Angelenos impacted by serious illness, bringing comfort and hope every day. In partnership with the Los Angeles Salesforce Nonprofit User Group, we will be helping out in their temporary Lincoln Heights kitchen as they renovate their new state-of-the-art facilities! Currently, they are only one of four organizations in the entire country to receive the Food is Medicine Coalition (FIMC) accreditation!

(This is an org near & dear to my heart! During my own breast cancer treatment, I was so thankful to be a recipient of their medically-tailored meals and know firsthand the ABSOLUTE GIFT of their much-needed services! 💙)
