Tis the season, and The Buds had the great pleasure of kicking off our efforts to help Bay Area Food Banks, by donating net proceeds from our gig at the Menlo Park Farmers' Market today. Turned out to be a pretty magical day. Great community. Wonderful folks. Beautiful weather... fun day with the band.
Thanks to FB friend, Andy Mason http://www.facebook.com/notes/andy-mason/attn-bay-area-musicians-lets-do-some-canned-food-drives/173964052667 , who instigated the push for Bay Area bands to lend their talents in a helping flagging food drive donations this year. The Buds are on-board.
You can also find links now on our site, at: http://www.TheBudsMusic.org/pages/foodbanks.html
SF Gate stated, "Food bank officials blame a variety of factors for the shortages, including the fact that Thanksgiving is a little earlier than normal this year and food prices are higher."
Suffice to say, donations are down. Please do your part to help others have more to feel thankful for this Thanksgiving - give to your local food bank. Find the one closest to you here: http://www.bayareahunger.org/your_foodbank.html.
On behalf of The Buds,
Bbud - Bryan
