STS9, Lang Food Drives

CONSCIOUS ALLIANCE PLANS FOOD DRIVES AT
LANGERADO AND ALONG STS9 AND EOTO WINTER TOURS

STS9

This fall, Colorado based not-for-profit Conscious Alliance continues its mission to help feed America’s hungry communities, hosting food drives at various music events this winter/spring. Look for Conscious Alliance at the Langerado Music Festival at the Big Cypress Indian Reservation in Florida on March 6-9, along STS9 and EOTO Winter Tours, and at select one-off concert events including Keller Williams & the WMD’s on February 2 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, Colorado and New Monsoon (featuring Tim Carbone from Railroad Earth and EOTO with special guest Michael Kang) on February 9 at The Fillmore in San Francisco, CA. As always, patrons can donate 10 non-perishable food items or $10.00 to receive a limited edition rock art poster.

For this trip, Conscious Alliance will host their second Student Service Learning Project. The program offers exciting alternative service-learning experiences for college students during their fall/spring breaks. The Student Service Learning Project synthesizes service learning by combining education and hands-on service. Participating students learn about hunger related issues, as well as Lakota culture, by providing compassionate cross-cultural community service on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. While on the reservation, students lodge with community leaders Floyd and Natalie Hand, as they sort and distribute food to community members in need, aid with home repairs for Lakota families, participate in educational sessions with Lakota elders, and communicate with Pine Ridge college students and peers about current cultural, social, economic, and environmental issues. This spring, March 23 – 29, Conscious Alliance will organize a group of students from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
