About Rock for Hunger
>> Thursday, November 25, 2010
Rock for Hunger began in 2006 by a group of students from the University of Central Florida (UCF) recruited by Chris Goyzueta (Executive Director & Founder of Rock for Hunger). This group which included Ben Bergholtz and Tristen Anderson (now Tristen Berholtz) helped in the organization of the inaugural Rock for Hunger Festival held in the Student Union at UCF. This one time student project to raise awareness for homelessness and at risk youth in Central Florida, has developed into a fully run 501(c)3 Orlando, FL based nonprofit organization in May of 2007. Since the organization has grown rapidly through developing partnerships and lifelong friendships within the Central Florida community. The current programs of the organization includes their original program the Monday Night Food Sharing, College Scholarships for at risk youth, Thanksgiving Breakfast for the Homeless, Christmas Movie Night in the Park, and the Rock for Hunger Concert series.

I am proud of those people who are aware on so many issues today and willing to spread the awareness even if it means that they will spend more time to it. I do hope that many of our youth will be encouraged to join such organization or group rather than spending their time on worthless things.
