Rock and Wrap it Up!
Productions always have lots of food left over. Make sure it goes to feed the hungry instead of the garbage to create pollution! ROCK AND WRAP IT UP! is an antipoverty think tank. Founded in 1991, it was the first charity to address waste in entertainment sectors across North America: music/sports/film. Food prepared but not served was kept out of land-fill and re purposed to feed the hungry.
Abby Kaish is the North American Director for Sports and Film recovery efforts.
