Foo Fighters have announced a benefit concert to support unhoused and food-insecure people in Los Angeles. They will headline Kia Forum on Wednesday, January 14—that’s Dave Grohl’s birthday—with proceeds going to Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission. Those charities have provided a list of items sought for donation, which you can deliver at a donation drive at the Forum on January 7 from midday Pacific Time. Contributors will be able to buy pre-sale tickets in person. Find the requested items below.
Grohl said in a press release, “What better way to spend my 57th birthday than making a bunch of noise with a bunch of friends for a good cause. This ain’t just a big ass rock show, it’s a big ass party with a heart. Turn up the volume, turn up the hope, but most of all….TURN UP. The best gift is TO GIVE. Can’t friggin wait x.”
Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission—two charities with which Grohl and his wife, Jordyn, have long been aligned—are seeking the following items:
- Socks and underwear (male, female, adults, children, all sizes—new/packaged only)
- Dried pinto beans (bagged)
- Pasta—spaghetti, macaroni (bagged or boxed)
- Dried rice (bagged)
They are not seeking canned goods or perishable items.
