Supporting Music Education
Who is Hungry for Music?
Hungry for Music is a nonprofit organization dedicated to putting musical instruments into the hands of children who want to learn but lack access. For over 30 years, they have distributed more than 22,000 instruments to children in all 50 states and 35 countries, giving them the opportunity to experience the joy, creativity, and empowerment that music provides.
How does Vivarti Coffee support Hungry for Music?
With every bag of coffee purchased, $1 is donated to help provide musical instruments to kids in need. By simply enjoying great coffee, you’re helping young musicians get the tools they need to learn, play, and grow.
Where do the donated instruments come from?
Hungry for Music collects new and gently used instruments donated by individuals, schools, and organizations. These instruments are refurbished if needed and then matched with children and music programs that need them most.
Who receives the instruments?
The instruments go to children who demonstrate a desire to learn music but may not have the resources to obtain their own. They also support teachers and music programs that serve students eager to learn.
How can I support Hungry for Music besides through my specialty coffee purchase?
In addition to supporting through Vivarti Coffee purchases, you can:
- Donate a musical instrument to give it a second life in the hands of a child.
- Make a direct monetary donation to help cover repair and distribution costs.
- Spread the word about Hungry for Music’s mission to help more children gain access to music education.
