GIVE A LITTLE: Aerosmith is one band who contributes to Rock and Wrap It Up!
Anyone who has ever worked in catering has witnessed the end-of-the-night spoils that characterize an extravagant event: extra foie gras, bits of brie, scraps of steak tenderloin. In fact, about 95 billion pounds of uneaten food ends up in US landfills every year. It was this disparity that prompted Brooklyn native Syd Mandelbaum to create Rock and Wrap It Up! The nonprofit “green-achieving organization” collects leftover food from 150 performers at venues across the nation and donates it to more than 43,000 soup kitchens and homeless shelters in 500 US cities. Artists who contribute to Rock and Wrap It Up! include Bruce Springsteen, Christina Aguilera, and Aerosmith. Twenty-five sports franchises and several school cafeterias have also recently joined the effort.
