“We are putting on the most entertaining food drive in the High Desert. We’ll be collecting canned foods for the High Desert Second Chance Food Bank. We’ll have four incredible bands playing great sets of music,” said DND Live Productions Co-Owner J.F.

This Saturday’s event will feature artists Diabology, Titan Wraths, Frakxure and Black Star performing live. Mom & Pop BBQ Soul Food is catering the event.
Cans collected throughout this week and Saturday will be given to High Desert Second Chance Food Bank.
“I simply called them one day and they were down from the beginning,” said Stone about the organization. “We really appreciate them coming on board and we love all the hard work they do.”

They also provide a daily supply of non-perishable goods and hygiene products to individuals without a residence. Their High Desert Food Collaborative is comprised of 75 local agencies who pick up supplies to distribute to the clients they serve within their region.
“We all need varying degrees of help in life. If this event helps just a percent of a percent of suffering, it is worth it,” said Stone.
