Happy Holidays & Peaceful Wishes to you~ In light of the tragedy in CT, The Sarah Swanson Band's ROCK ON FOR CAUSES will donate ALL proceeds to Food Gatherers, an organization that feeds so many families with children, for every Sarah Swanson THIS SIDE OF MADNESS CD sold 12.17.12 -12.24.12!

This time of year is often a beautiful opportunity to give the best of ourselves to others. For some folks though, the holidays can be especially challenging when there is not enough good, healthy food to put on the table.

I have always detested the phrase "helping the needy". The wish to fill your tummy is not "needy". It is necessary... for you to stay healthy, for children to grow properly, for keeping the nutrients and energy aligned in our bodies.

Food Gatherers provides enough food for more than 15,000 meals a day! Other amazing facts about Food Gatherers~

·  $35 helps feed a hungry child for 1 month  

·  $50 provides emergency food for a family for 10 days

·  $100 provides a nutritious afterschool snack for a hungry child for 1 year

·  Food Gatherers rescues an average of 5 tons of food daily which would go to waste and distributes it to 150 community programs serving mostly families and children

·  At least 50% of Food Gatherers total food distribution is fresh produce or protein, and today 1 in 2 Food Gatherers’ food pantries distributes fresh produce compared to 1 in 5 in 2008

·  Food Gatherers operates the Community Kitchen where last year 106,000 plates of healthy food were served to hungry people with the help of 1500 volunteers

Food Gatherers is a 4-star charity, the highest rating, according to CharityNavigator.org for the 8th year! This means FG exceeds industry standards with 96% of their budget going to their programs. I proudly worked for Food Gatherers, and I promise you this is one well-oiled, respected organization.

Again, we are donating to FOOD GATHERERS for every Sarah Swanson THIS SIDE OF MADNESS CD we sell 12.17.24 -12.24.12! Please give yourself and someone you love the gift of music and FEED PEOPLE! It really doesn't get much better or easier than this.
