For 24 years, the Racine County Food Bank has hosted "Thoughts for Food" to support its nonprofit efforts of lending a helping hand to those suffering from hunger. This year’s event is on Saturday, March 5 and is set to be the biggest yet.
The event has grown from one stage with 12 bands in their first year all the way to 50 bands performing at 14 different venues in downtown Racine and Racine's River North neighborhood.
This year's lineup showcases a variety of styles for every kind of music lover. You want DJ's? Check out Envi. A little Sinatra? Try Ivanhoe and the Racine Yacht Club. Hardcore metal? Check out the Rhino Bar and McAuliffe's On the Square. Odds are, they have whatever kind of music you may like. There is also a new venue this year, Wharf 209.
Racine County Food Bank's mission is to efficiently and effectively obtain resources and facilitate the distribution of food and necessities to Racine County individuals and families in need, through a network of direct service providers.
For over 30 years, The Racine County Food Bank has operated an efficient and successful emergency food program in Racine. Funding and support of their operation has come from all areas of the community.
