Through the Table Tour concerts, Feed the Children hopes to raise awareness of child hunger by bringing together music fans and their favourite artists in one venue.
"The Table Tour unites popular musicians and their fan bases to defeat the status quo of hunger," Kevin Hagan, Feed the Children President and CEO, said. "Innovative efforts like these will bring us closer to our ultimate goal—creating a world where no child goes to bed hungry."
Feed the Children has worked to raise awareness of and eliminate child hunger with the help of partners, donors, and communities since 1979. In fiscal year 2013, the organisation distributed over $344 million in food, essentials, educational supplies, and medicine to over 10 million individuals in the United States and 18 other countries.
