Musically Fed was in attendance at Welcome to Rockville, Florida’s Largest Rock Festival at Daytona International Speedway. Since 2016, the Phoenix-based non-profit has mobilized the music industry in the fight against hunger by working with artists, promoters, management, and venues to donate unused backstage meals to community organizations that feed veterans, the homeless, and the food insecure nationwide. To date, they have re-purposed almost 400,000 meals. At the 2022 Welcome to Rockville festival, they rescued unused Artist and Staff Catering, as well as dressing room excess, to provide much-needed meals to area nonprofits.

Musically Fed identifies the opportunities, procures the resources, and coordinates all aspects of food handling, transport, and distribution, making it easy for promoters and performers to leave each city they visit with a lasting positive impact. When Covid shut down the live music and event economy in 2020, Musically Fed pivoted its mission to creating drive-thru distribution events in eight major cities that provided more than 150,000 meals for struggling gig workers and their families.
