Beyonce Is currently in the middle of her “The Beyonce Experience Tour,” but that’s not stopping her from giving back to the community. She has teamed up with her minister and friend Pastor Rudy Rasmus and America‘s Second Harvest — The Nation’s Food Bank Network to sponsor pre- concert food donation drives in Houston, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Los Angeles as part of her Beyonce Experience Tour.
“Hunger affects every community in the United States,” Beyonce said. “So I’m using my Tour and Survivor Foundation to bring attention to domestic hunger. I’m joining forces with Pastor Rudy and America‘s Second Harvest — The Nation’s Food Bank Network to fight hunger. Reaching out and touching lives is incredibly empowering. That’s why I want my fans to experience more than my music this summer. I want them to experience the joy of making a difference by helping someone else."
Plus the first 1,000 fans in each of the five cities to drop off non-perishable food items will receive an autographed photo of Beyonce. Ticket holders that bring items as they enter the venues will be given a raffle ticket for a chance to have their seats upgraded. Here is the remainder of B’s tour dates:
