Calling All Crows Service Project

This year marked the ten year anniversary of the start of the Calling All Crows Foundation, a non-profit charitable foundation that my favorite singer, Chad Stokes, started.  We were there at the event for the creation of the foundation, and have only missed one of the annual benefit concerts.  I love that Chad has created such a powerful movement with his music.  His music really gets you to think about politics and issues facing people across the globe.  He works hard to get his fans to volunteer and get educated about these issues.

We've had a chance to volunteer and/or participate in a few of the service projects that coincide with the benefit concerts.  One year we rallied to support gay marriage and another year we packed up medical supplies for Syrian refugees.  I almost didn't go this year because I was tired and stressed out from school, but I'm so glad I did.  This year, we participated in bystander training and packed up 17,000 meals for Rosie's Place and shelters in Puerto Rico.  The thing I love most about these projects is that Chad, and this year Brad from Dispatch, participate right alongside you.  It's great that they don't just talk the talk, but also walk the walk, roll up their sleeves, and get the work done with you.  I left totally inspired and ready to tackle the last week of the December Crazies (it didn't hurt that we had tickets to Tuesday's concert to look forward too!)
