Alternative rock band Point North has launched a fundraising challenge to benefit charity No Kid Hungry and they will be donating $10,000 to the cause. The band will donate the first $1,000 to kick off the campaign and encourage other artists and fans to contribute to the cause, matching each $1,000 along the way until they have donated the full $10,000. The campaign aims to raise $20,000 for No Kid Hungry.
“While there are many charities and causes we in Point North want to help, we decided No Kid Hungry would bring immediate aid to those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic,” the band shares. “With schools being shut down, millions of children could lose access to everyday meals. Through No Kid Hungry, every ten dollars equates to 100 meals for these children in need. While there are multiple active measures being taken, we felt the need to do our part. We understand the impact this pandemic has had on all humans and the economy. No person should lose sleep over how they are going to feed their kids the next day. We hope this donation inspires others to do the same and help as much as they can so we can keep those who are less fortunate from going hungry in these unprecedented times.”
