Food For Thought

Many thanks to everyone who participated in our Food for Thought program, which asked for a non-perishable canned food donation in lieu of a ticket price at our downtown L.A. venue!

In 2008, we collected more than 2,400 items for the Cathedral Outreach Center & The Food Bank of Southern California.

In 2009, help us continue this important community tradition, which has collected more than $1.5 million in food items to date. Learn the history behind the program >
