Events Coordinator, Jordan Nyberg and our super-dedicated volunteer Peter Chenette braved the tropical storm on Friday night to represent Foodshare in the Eco-Village at the Dave Matthews Band concert at the Comcast Theatre in Hartford.
During the two-night concert event, the band asked fans to bring non-perishable food to be donated to local agencies and also sold basil seed packets to raise money for The Farmer’s Cow and Foodshare. All of the money collected was given to The Farmer’s Cow so that they can then donate the same amount of product to Foodshare for distribution to hungry families in Hartford and Tolland counties.
In total, approximately 225lbs. of food and almost $1,500 were collected! Way to go DMB fans!
