SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 30, 2015— KFOG-FM announces the release of its annual benefit CD, Live from the Archives 22, to raise funds for Bay Area Food Banks.
The live compilation CD features KFOG in-studio performances from rock’s
biggest artists, including Train, Michael Franti and Cage the Elephant, and
will be available for purchase starting Monday, November 2, at Bay Area Peet’s
Coffee & Tea locations. A special pre-sale is available online now at www.peets.com/kfog. In addition, on
November 12, KFOG will present Bay Area Food Banks with a $200,000 donation,
representing funds raised from last year’s Live from the Archives 21 CD
sales.
KFOG
has produced this annual CD benefiting Bay Area Food Banks for 22 consecutive
years. The CD is the biggest single cash fundraiser each year for Bay Area Food
Banks, which include: Alameda County Community Food Bank; Food Bank of Contra
Costa and Solano; Napa Valley Food Bank; Redwood Empire Food Bank; SF-Marin
Food Bank; and Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.
These agencies help feed disadvantaged children, families in crisis, low-income
seniors, people living with AIDS, the homeless, the working poor and others in
need.
Jim Richards, Program Director for
KFOG-FM said: “The continued support of this project by the music community is
impressive and humbling. These artists give their time to perform in our
Private Concerts, then contribute the recordings to this compilation so that
Bay Area Food Banks can provide a much-needed community service. The
musicians, their managers, publishers and labels have all been generous and
gracious. I’d like to thank them for keeping this worthwhile tradition
alive.”
Paul Ash, Executive Director of SF-Marin
Food Bank, said: “The amount of support the Bay Area Food Banks has received
from Live from the Archives over the last 21 years is tremendous. Not only in dollars,
but in raising awareness about food insecurity to KFOG listeners. Meals bring
people together, especially during the holidays, and this annual donation
allows Food Banks to provide critical assistance and joy to thousands of
families who are struggling to make ends meet.”
