It takes a community to feed a community. The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank has been the recipient of BAHS Jamborees in San Diego North County since 2017. They are the largest hunger-relief organization in San Diego County. Last year, the Food Bank distributed 28 million pounds of food, and the Food Bank serves, on average, 350,000 people per month in San Diego County. Through their North County Food Bank chapter and by partnering with nearly 500 nonprofit partners with feeding programs, including BAHS, the Food Bank provides nutritious food to individuals and families in need in communities throughout San Diego County. During the COVID-19 crisis the Food Bank and it's chapters have remained open and have continued to serve their community and those in need. They are also looking for volunteers if you are in the San Diego area. Please support the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank.      For more information on all BAHS Community Partners, vi...

Dear BAHS Members, We have created a BAHS members-only Facebook Group in an effort to ensure all members can participate in BAHS activities. The group will be an open discussion on BAHS events, food drives, food collections and distributions, broadcasts, music, bands, board member voting and much more. If you are a member you are invited to join the group and stay connected to BAHS and our mission.

We did it. We launched BAHS TV with the Easter Sunday Bluesathon. During the program, we had nearly 2000 viewers and although we only had 21 donors, we raised $1,113 in donation, not including the guitar raffle.  The full report and financial breakdown are available for members on the link below.  Beginning this month BAHS will be launching a blues music channel on YouTube streaming 24/7. The channel will play music videos, along with BAHS Bumpers (similar to Mopar Murray below), membership campaigns, donation requests, etc. One a week we will broadcast a LIVE streaming Jamboree featuring live blues bands from around the world. The goal is to create an additional donation stream for BAHS so that we can continue our mission of promoting and preserving the blues while ending hunger.  BAHS Member Easter Sunday Report https://www.bahsociety.com/MEMBER-REPORTS

Miguel.  A lover of music and in love with the blues.  I am a traveling soul with a guitar on my shoulder. CB.  How did your link with the “Blues Against Hunger” Organization come about? Miguel.  In 2016, Los Corsarios who were on tour in Tijuana, received the invitation to participate in one of these concerts in Punta Banda, Baja California.  The following year they try to invite us again, but due to the gasoline crisis in Mexico, it is not possible to carry it out.
