What are we talking about?

The owners of DesertStormRadio.com, DJ CLUE, CEAS, and DJ CULTURE, present the "Feed The People Tour". This is a tour that will feed people in the local event community while bringing an incredible event to the area.

How do you plan on doing this?

DesertStormRadio.com and the event location will each donate 20% of the proceeds from each event to the cause of the tour. We estimate each event will yield anywhere between $2,000 and $20,000 that we can use to either purchase, cook, and distribute the food ourselves, or pay a local food establishment to purchase, cook, and distribute the food for free to families and people who are in need of a hot meal.  

When is the food giveaway?

Each and every event that we have will start with a 12 hour LIVE broadcast dance party on Saturday and the food giveaway will be held Sunday morning! This is a 2 day event!

Where does the money(proceeds) come from?

20% will come from what DesertStormRadio.com is paid to put on the event!

20% will come from the nightclub via door tickets, and VIP.

Are you involved with a charity?

Hell no!! We decided to take our own money and use our own time to actually make sure that the food we purchase will actually get into the mouths of people who honestly need it! This is not just for homeless people it is for ANYONE who is in need of a hot meal!

When you say LIVE broadcast, what do you mean?

We will have live cameras set up at the event location and we will be streaming the video LIVE on DesertStormRadio.com so that the rest of the world can see the event LIVE and enjoy the party with us, from each and every location we are at.

Who will be serving the food to the people on Sunday morning?

DesertStormRadio.com staff members along with local volunteers will be prepping, cooking, serving, and cleaning. All of our help is in house but we will accept help from locals, of course.

When does this all start?

Right now! If you are a promoter, contact us and book this - right this second!

What is the goal of all of this?

Our goal is to use our natural ability to rock a party and bring excitement from music and entertainment to create a revenue source that can be used to help your local human being! We might start buying clothes and/or items for children for the holidays, but whatever it is we will be helping local communities around this country. When we come to town there will be more than just the nightclub people who will be excited!
