The 64-year-old is teaming up with Bay Area Food Bank — an organization that serves food to hungry citizens in 24 counties across Florida, Alabama and Mississippi — to provide meals for families. Almost 400,000 meals are expected to be handed out, thanks to his generosity.
Young is encouraging concert-goers to bring nonperishable food items with them for the food bank. There will also be limited-edition, unique T-shirts onsite to benefit the charity. The performance dates are:
- Sept. 20 — Marina Civic Center, Panama City, Fla.
- Sept. 25 — IP Showroom, Biloxi, Miss.
- Sept. 26 — Saenger Theatre, Mobile, Ala.
- Sept. 28 — Saenger Theatre, Pensacola, Fla.
