God’s Love We Deliver, which was founded during the AIDS pandemic in 1985, has been an essential services provider during the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, the organization cooked and delivered more than 2.6 million meals to nearly 10,000 New Yorkers living with and affected by severe illness, and its staff and volunteers continue to work tirelessly to meet the ever-growing demand for its services.
Since launching in 2017, the annual Love Rocks NYC concerts have raised $20 million dollars and helped to fund 2 million meals to New Yorkers in need. The benefit concert highlights the charity’s continued mission of providing life-sustaining meals and nutrition counseling for people in the New York Metropolitan area living with severe illness.
Past concerts have featured Jon Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews, Andra Day, Sara Bareilles, Robert Plant, Joe Walsh, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow, Buddy Guy and more.
