NOISE FOR THE NEEDY 2010: IT'S ON!!!!

Before I go in to all the exciting stuff for this year, very quickly: if you've covered Noise for the Needy in the past, thank you tremendously for helping to make the previous years such glowing successes. Honestly. Thank you. It's people like you getting the word out about the amazing work that NFTN does that helps each year's fest grow and grow--and this year aims to be no exception in terms of expansion on previous awesomeness.

If you're unfamiliar, Noise for the Needy is a Seattle, WA-based non-profit organization that raises money for charitable causes through the production of live music shows. This year's NFTN recipient charity is the incredible Teen Feed, a secular agency that provides meals to young adults (25 and under) five nights a week in the University District of Seattle. They average about 40 to 50 guests each night, serving over 11,000 meals per year. They also provide crisis intervention and help homeless youth gain access to case management, healthcare, and shelter. Teen Feed is hoping that the money from this year’s Noise for the Needy festival will allow them to provide meals seven nights a week and make connections with even more homeless youth to help facilitate the transition out of homelessness. Good stuff.

Noise for the Needy is really excited to announce its Festival Kickoff benefit shows, and we'd love it if you could help spread the word. Details are below. As always, thanks--and I'll be in touch soon with more NFTN news!

Best,
Joan
