The Gray Havens, a Nashville art-pop duo who debuted on the music scene in 2013, will star in Feed the Children's inaugural video for its YouTube series Feed the Children Presents. The musical artists are partnering with the international nonprofit to raise money for families suffering from unemployment and food insecurity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Gray Havens will perform two popular songs from their most recent albums - "She Waits" and "Fire and Stone".
In addition to the acoustic session, viewers will learn about Feed the Children's work and how they can give back to families during this unsettling time. Every dollar given goes seven times as far to provide food, hope, dignity and comfort.

Where:
Feed the Children - YouTube channel
Why:
A recent Brookings study found that food insecurity in households with children under 18 has increased by about 130 percent from 2018 to today. While millions are still waiting to receive pending unemployment and stimulus checks, many are left to wonder how they will get their next meal. Americans who have never needed help before are now finding themselves in an unfamiliar reality. That's why The Gray Havens and Feed the Children have joined forces to make sure our most hungry neighbors are fed.
