Steven Curtis Chapman, Ellie Holcomb and More Partner With The Table Tour & Feed the Children to Help Kids in The U.S. [SEE HERE]
Feed the Children announced their first series of concerts in a new tour brand they are launching with several artists who are passionate about ending child hunger in the United States. Each run will feature a different cast of artists including Steven Curtis Chapman, Brandon Heath, Elli Holcomb and more.
The roots of hunger go deep and affect American children in every state, county, and city in this country, and, in fact, one in five children is at risk of going to bed hungry tonight. That's why The Table Tour is partnering with Feed the Children to help connect fans and artists with children who need support.
The Table Tour is scheduled to make multiple stops around the United States this spring. Artists for the first leg of tour dates in February and March will include multiple-award-winning artists Brandon Heath, Love & The Outcome, and Nichole Nordeman. Then an additional set of concerts, to be announced shortly, hits the road in April and May. It will again feature Brandon Heath and Love & the Outcome, and adds iconic artist and songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman along with Ellie Holcomb, known as part of the band Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, and now branching out as a solo artist.
A table brings people together. Tables come in many shapes and forms, but each serves the same purpose: nourishment and fellowship, two truly life-giving experiences happening in one place. It might be a dirt-floored hut in Africa, a wooden pallet in Mexico, or a reclaimed barn-wood table in Manhattan, but wherever tables are found, communities are born. That is the vision of The Table: building community with artists and fans.
"The Table Tour unites popular musicians and their fan bases to defeat the status quo of hunger," said Kevin Hagan, Feed the Children President and CEO, "Innovative efforts like these will bring us closer to our ultimate goal-creating a world where no child goes to bed hungry."
