We are fortunate to announce that we are partnering with ICA Foodshelf to expand their operations into Excelsior, Minnesota by doing a “create a gig” warehouse setup in a vacant storefront to allow more families in need to access the ICA’s programs and services.  We plan to be operational by December 19 in time for Christmas and will do our best to keep the doors open to continue throughout the winter.

We cannot express our gratitude and the overwhelming response and generosity from our tribe of wandering spirits . . .

We'd especially like to acknowledge the exceptional generosity of John and Esther Campion, Jake Berry and everyone on the U2 360 TOUR, Clair Bros., and Kim Davenport from Eat Your Hearts Out on behalf of the Roger Waters and Lady Gaga crews, for their immediate response to our call for action and their contributions which have allowed us to get this project off the ground.  The contributions are still coming in, and the repeated generosity of all the men and women who I have the great honor of calling my friends has been inspiring!

We have set up a website specifically for the Excelsior Project . . . Have a look . . . click on it . .  or go to your local food shelf and click on them . . .

HUNGER IS A VIOLATION OF ONE OF THE MOST BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS... AS INTRINSICALLY IMPORTANT AS THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM FROM TORTURE, FREEDOM FROM SLAVERY, AND THE GUARANTEE OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION...

Thank you
