In their 2016-2017 fiscal year, the Racine County Food Bank delivered 687,152 pounds of food to pantries, 25,102 pounds to shelters, 41,124 pounds to meal sites and 93,610 pounds to social service agencies. This food provided 733,123 meals to in-need families in Racine County.
To provide this much food to those in need, Racine County Food Bank relies on the strength and compassion of their community to donate to the cause. One of the largest drivers of funds for the food bank is the annual Thoughts for Food music festival, which happens all over downtown Racine the first Saturday in March.
With 15 venues and more than 40 bands, Thoughts for Food is a true community-wide initiative. Where else can you hear 40 different bands for $10 while feeding a family in need? The full schedule for the event, which is happening Saturday, March 3, is below.
