Thoughts For Food
https://www.thoughtsforfood.org/
In the late fall of 1992, Mark Paffrath (then Executive Director of Racine County Project Emergency), Steve Klinkhammer, Bill May, and Ron Schultz (Vets 21 of Racine), and Dave Popoff (George's Tavern) developed Thoughts For Food™ as a benefit to support Project Emergency. Racine County Project Emergency, now the Racine County Food Bank, is a non-profit, United Way supported organization that supplies food to residents in need in Racine County. Vets 21 of Racine had previously sponsored several food and fund raising benefits for the Racine County Food Bank and wanted to continue its efforts while allowing for greater input and support from the community. What developed was the concept of local musicians donating their "thoughts for food." This would give Racine area musicians an opportunity to showcase their talents and the community a chance to respond with food and cash donations for the Food Bank. Thoughts For Food™ 1, held on February 27, 1993, featured twelve acts on one stage. The event was held at George's and the tavern was filled beyond capacity before the first act had finished. Admission to Thoughts For Food™ 1 was $3 and a non-perishable food item. The event raised $1,200 and 435 pounds of food. Since then, the annual event has grown in size as has the amount of food and funds contributed. This year's event will feature venues in the "River North" and Downtown areas of Racine.
The success of Thoughts For Food™ has always depended on the support of its volunteers. Over the past 24 years, hundreds of dedicated people and families from VVA 767, the Racine County Food Bank, and the general Racine community helped by staffing the event, distributing and collecting food contribution boxes during the month of February, photographing the event and doing the myriad other tasks that make the event successful. In addition, several hundred band members, sound and lighting techs, and other contributors to the event gave unselfishly of their time and talent.
Over its 29 years, Thoughts For Food™ has raised over $525,000 and more than 120,000 pounds of food for the Racine County Food Bank! It is truly a peaceful demonstration of caring and concern by Racine area residents!

Allison Emm
Here is the rebroadcast of Episode 004 with Allison Emm of Wisconsin Music Podcast.
Wisconsin Music Podcast interviews Allison Emm of Wisconsin Music Ventures this week. Allison is a great resource for WIsconsin musicians, take a listen to this weeks interview and hear how her organization can benefit you.
From her website, www.WisconsinMusicVentures.com
Motivating musicians and audiences to experience inspiring performance environments by partnering with unlikely local destinations.
Wisconsin Music Ventures is a program that was founded in the summer of 2019 by Milwaukee area musician and private instructor Allison Schweitzer (Allison Emm is her business name). Her idea was to plan events that might be different, engaging and exciting for her private students and others to attend, being held at interesting – when possible outdoor – locations.
In planning these experiences for her private studio, she thought a) wouldn’t it be great to open some up to other students, and b) many of these “venues” would be amazing, scenic spots at which other local musicians could perform small-scale concerts.
