Rascal Flatts Helping To Fight Hunger With Outnumber Hunger

Rascal Flatts Helping To Fight Hunger With Outnumber Hunger
6/24/2012 8:11 PM ET

Rascal Flatts is teaming up with Edens Edge and the Eli Young Band to fight hunger in America. This summer the groups have partnered with General Mills in order to help Feeding America bring meals to local food banks through "Outnumber Hunger Live."

At each concert stop on the Farmers Insurance Presents Changed tour from now until the end of October, Outnumber Hunger will be making a $625 donation to Feeding America. Every donation will help bring 5,000 meals for each city's local food bank.

"In our home state of Arkansas, nearly 18 percent of the residents struggle with hunger. That's more than half a million people," says Hannah Blaylock of Edens Edge. "That's why Outnumber Hunger Live is an important part of our tour."

"People in every community across America, nearly 49 million individuals, are struggling with hunger," adds Mike Eli of the Eli Young Band. "With 'Outnumber Hunger Live,' we hope that we can help these local communities and continue to raise awareness of this issue in our country."
