Food Aid’s mission is to prevent individuals and their families from experiencing hunger. We believe that food insecurity should not exist, as the right to food is a human right. Through music and entertainment, Food Aid will serve as an important funding source for interconnected community organizations and initiatives aimed at addressing food insecurity. Our fundraising goal for 2026 is $20,000. If you cannot attend, but wish to make a monetary donation, please contact Donnie Biggins: donnie@robertswestside.com

Food Aid 2026 seeks to highlight & celebrate local organizations making inter-community impacts in addressing food insecurity. This year’s Food Aid Beneficiaries include: A House In Austin, Austin Eats Initiative, Best Of Proviso Township, Beyond Hunger, The Community Fridge Project and Westchester Food Pantry.
