Our mini-grant window just closed—and the need is unprecedented.
Music for the Mission received 82 grant requests from food pantries
and hunger-relief programs across the communities we serve.
We have funding for 22.
That leaves 60 pantries still waiting for help.
60 Pantries in 60 Days exists to close that gap—now.
How You Can Help Close the Gap
​
Every action matters.
100% of every dollar is granted.
Every dollar donated through 60 Pantries in 60 Days goes directly toward funding local food pantries through Music for the Mission’s mini-grant program—no red tape, no delays.
You can help by:

Sponsoring a Pantry
-

-
Bring your co-workers together to pick a Pantry in your community to underwrite.
