Langley Supports Food Drive with Live Nation
The Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore today announced the organization as a beneficiary of the food and fund drive hosted by entertainment company Live Nation. The drive will take place at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach on Saturday, June 11 from 3 to 7 p.m. – prior to the concert featuring country music superstar Brad Paisley.
“This support is especially timely and important against the backdrop of inflated food costs and a significant decline in donations,” says Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore & CEO Christopher Tan. “We appreciate Live Nation for this fun and unique opportunity to raise additional funds essential to putting foods on the tables of our most vulnerable neighbors.”
