It all began with a benefit concert for the Danville Area Food Pantry to commemorate the release of Dig the Hole by Lane's band, Deeper Blues. Since March, 2008, Danville Foodstock has raised over $15,000 in food and cash donations for the food pantry. Since January, 2009, their free Sunday Dinner series has fed more than 2000 meals to those in need. Visit Danville Foodstock.

Join us on the third Sunday of every month for a free, hot, nutritious dinner served to all with compassion.
