Avicii Presents: House For Hunger

"Hunger hits everywhere and the US is not immune to it. For me personally when I found out how big the hunger problem in United States actually was it blew my mind. I never would have imagined that 1 in 6 Americans struggle with hunger. Or that 1 in 4 children routinely do not get enough to eat. For me I've always considered hunger a third world problem and would have never guessed it being a problem of that magnitude in a country like America where I've been spending more time than I have at home these past years." -Avicii

Avicii and his manager and executive producer Arash "Ash" Pournouri have made a commitment to donate $1 million dollars in gig fees personally received from the tour to Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization comprised of more than 200 member food banks across the country. The donation will help provide approximately 8 million meals to those in need through Feeding America. For more information about House For Hunger, please visit: www.houseforhunger.org.

Feeding America is the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity. Their mission is to feed America's hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger. Each year, the Feeding America network provides food to more than 37 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States, including more than 14 million children and nearly 3 million seniors.
