PROJECTS - Fillmore Project
The Conscious Alliance hosted its first food drives at Denver's Fillmore Auditorium, during the spring of 2002. The drives were organized in an effort to generate food and awareness towards our annual food deliveries to impoverished Indian Reservations in South Dakota, Arizona, Montana, and New Mexico. Our first food drives at the Fillmore filled a 14ft. box truck, which was a testament to the potential of this project. Now, five years later, and with the help of supporting bands and venues, we have collected over 500,000 lbs. at concerts across the United States. As the Conscious Alliance has grown, we have also simultaneously expanded on our events within Colorado. In 2005, we started an initiative to host a food drive at every Fillmore show to benefit the Denver's Metro Care Ring emergency assistance center. Volunteers, stationed outside of the main entrance, collect donations and furnish special edition posters to supporters. Currently, we create four Fillmore posters a year that are available for a donation of 10 non-perishable items. Our hope is that as the Fillmore food drives grow stronger and stronger, the “Art that Feeds” program will eventually produce upwards of 100,000 lbs. of food donations per year for Denver's Hungry. |
