ClusterPluck

Hey folks! Shades here!

It was the year 2016 when came up with the idea to start giving back to the community during the holiday season. So, Pluckin to Feed was born! Every year we hit St. Louis, MO and the Illinois side with a couple gigs right around the holidays. The idea is to encourage folks to bring non perishable goods to the shows and in return they get some sweet poster art for the night. Well this idea has blown past our expectations and we have reached our goal once again!

This year we were able to round up 1,060lbs of food for the St. Louis Area Food Bank. That will provide 883 meals just in time for this holiday season. We are so darn grateful! A big thanks goes out to the venues who trust us with the idea, Moon Valley for helping out in STL, and we are especially happy for all you beautiful friends and family! You all are a true dream team and we couldn’t have done this without you! We also can’t leave out Jordan and her team out at the St. Louis Area Foodbank for all their help through the years. You guys have a massive program going on and we are thankful you take the time to work with us.

Stay tuned for some hot news coming soon!
