Power to the Peaceful Food Drive
At this weekend’s free Power to the Peaceful Festival in S.F.’s Golden Gate Park, the Conscious Alliance will host their fourth annual food drive to benefit the San Francisco Food Bank. A free event poster will be given to the first few hundred patrons that donate 10 non-perishable food items or more.
The Conscious Alliance always encourages food donations to be low-sodium, health food oriented products. Last year, the Conscious Alliance formed a national partnership with Whole Foods Market resulting in over a $1 million worth of healthy food donations. The monetary donations generated during this year’s Power to the Peaceful Festival will go towards delivering the remainder of the nutritious food to impoverished communities across the United States. For more information about these efforts please visit ConsciousAlliance.org.
