Due to federal cutbacks, “Eat Better Live Better” a Delray Beach based non-profit focused on feeding the community with dignity recently lost 75% of a key USDA grant that was allocated to help feed and nourish at risk families here in Delray. This could not have come at a worse time as many of our school age children lose meals they otherwise would receive during the school year.
Losing these USDA funds has put a significant strain on EBLB’s ability to continue providing nutrient dense meals to at-risk families in our community.
EBLB founder Debra Tendrich tells Friends Of Delray, now more than ever, families are on the brink of crisis and need more than hope. They need healthy food, real support, and a path forward. Especially with kids out of school missing their daily school lunches, the need is urgent. Eat Better Live Better is that lifeline, and our ability to serve depends on the community stepping up with us.
Thanks to the efforts of Lisa Walsh, owner of Tim Finnegan’s, Steve Martel’s “The Joe Cotton Band”, Daniel Hartwell from “United We Rock & Beatles On The Beach”, Stephen Dickstein founder of Best Of Delray, Taylor Morgan founder of Kind Diners Society and Gregg Weiss, founder of Communia Media, a benefit concert for EBLB will be held on Friday June 27h from 7:00pm to 11:00pm at Tim Finnegan’s Irish Pub, 2885 S Federal Hwy, Delray Beach
The benefit features Delray based “The Joe Cotton Band” performing not one but two incredible sets. Says band founder Steve Martel, “Living in a time when so many people have so much while far too many others have so little, it’s imperative to give back to communities we live in. I feel honored to participate in this program.”
While there is no cover charge, the organizers ask that attendees donate some of the following - Gift cards to any of our local supermarkets, Oatmeal, Canned Vegetables, Canned Chicken, Canned Tuna, Olive Oil & Avocado Oil.
For those who can not make the event, but want to help our families in need, there are collection boxes at Tim Finnegan’s. Additionally, the community can donate online by going to https://givebutter.com/ConcertFundraiser
