News From Kindred Souls

Roll Up for The Diner Tour March 19 - 21
Kindred Souls is about to embark on our NJ Diner Tour on March 19-21 to raise money for the NJ Federation of Food Banks.

We will perform a 20 minute set at a diner in each of New Jersey's 21 counties in a 48-hour period with the goal of raising at least $250 per diner.That's enough money to buy 21,000 pounds of food.

Charitable organizations throughout New Jersey will receive food supplies to help feed children, seniors and adults. Please visit
www.dinertournj.com to see which diner is closest to you.

Why is this cause important? Last year the NJ Federation of Food Banks distributed over 27 million pounds of food to more than 1,800 charitable programs statewide. But, donations are down while the need is growing.


We know in these tight financial times making donations can be difficult. But, with the buying power of the food banks even small donations make a difference. Food banks can purchase about 1,000 pounds of food for $250. If enough people participate, collectively their small donations can make a big difference.

If you could help us, we'd really appreciate it. How?

Whatchagonnado and donate a dollar or more. Help spread the word via your social networks. And, please come see us at a diner near you. We promise it will be fun, and eating at the diners supporting us is the quintessential New Jersey dining experience. Isn't it?

We will be sending out updates plus uploading photos and video from the tour, so stay tuned.
