16th Annual PRFD Results

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Punk Rock Food Drive 16!

Through your efforts gathering food donations, attending the event, participating in our raffle and auctions, and purchasing PRFD merch we were able to present The North County Food Bank with the following:

$6,183
2,076 pounds of food
Totaling 14,096 meals!

That’s enough food to feed a family of four for over three years!

We strive to provide an entertaining and enjoyable concert experience each year to produce these great outcomes.  Without your attendance and participation, it just wouldn’t be possible.

Can’t wait to get started on next year’s event and do it all over again!

 

15th Annual PRFD Results

The 15th Annual Thanksgiving Punk Rock Food Drive raised over 2,500 pounds of food and we were able to present the North County Food Bank with $6,780!

Attendees raised food all over the County and brought it to our annual concert at Belching Beaver Oceanside. Raffles, auctions, merch and ticket sales, all combined to produce the most funds we’ve ever raised at a PRFD!

All that food and money equates to approximately 15,700 meals for individuals and families in our community!

Thank you to all the sponsors, bands, attendees, volunteers, vendors, brewery staff and customers that made this possible!

PRFD 14 Results!

Thank you to everyone who supported this year’s Punk Rock Food Drive 14 campaign. Whether you joined us for the show or donated online, your contributions will be felt in the bellies of folks who didn’t know where their next meal was coming from. $4,390 and 1,525 pounds of food were raised and presented to the North County Food Bank. That all adds up to 10,109 meals for families and individuals in San Diego County!

The food bank recently adjusted the amount of meals that a dollar will provide and as you can probably guess, it’s gone down. Increased food costs, fuel costs for fleet, and rising overhead have brought the meal conversion from 5 meals per dollar down to 2.

This is unfortunate for a lot of reasons and it illustrates the need for us to keep it going and try to find creative and helpful ways to escalate our fundraising efforts. It also points to an increased importance on community-based organizers everywhere to help bridge gaps where they exist for those in need around us.

We know there is such a great crew around us each and every year making Punk Rock Food Drive an effort worth pursuing. Thank you for your continued love and support!

We can’t make this kind of impact without the consistent support of this amazing community.  Thank you to Sound Speed, Slabratory, and Riot Scene for sponsoring this year’s event, to all the talented vendors that joined us, and to the many businesses who increased our fundraising capabilities by donating to our raffle or auction.  We try to provide the opportunity but it is all of your combined care, efforts, and dedication that produce these results.

We're raising food and funds all month for the North County Food Bank

You can donate online at www.PunkRockFood.com

PRFD 11 Results!

We had such a great time celebrating this year's Punk Rock Food Drive campaign at Legacy Brewing Company on November 9th. All the bands killed it, the vendor and food setup was especially rad this year. Such a cool mix of familiar faces and friends we haven't seen in a while, new relationships and a couple pre-K kids out there ready to shred a circle pit!

Each annual Punk Rock Food Drive event becomes more of a months-long collaborative effort in this great community and this year was no different. This was actually our 19th PRFD when you add up all the Spring and Summer shows we've done and we raised more food than we have at any previous event. 2,100 pounds was raised at Legacy Brewing, Vista Fitness Boot Camp -WEST raised 852 pounds, Allscripts in Escondido raised 445 pounds, and Pacific Academy Encinitas raised 188 pounds.

That adds up to 3,640 pounds of food!

Such a tremendous gift for our hungry neighbors!

$3,850 was raised through admission, PRFD merch sales, raffles, auctions, Señor Grubby's fundraisers, and direct donations from businesses and individuals!

After you do a little bit of fancy food math, this year's PRFD campaign raised over 22,000 meals for the San Diego Food Bank's North County Food Bank!

It's hard to put the gratitude and appreciation we feel from everyone's continued support into a digestible message like this. Instead, we will try to keep throwing it back into each future event we organize.

Thank you to everyone who supported this year's PRFD campaign. We can't wait to do it all over again!
