My name is Maria Sherman, and I am the organizor/coordinator for Punk Junk Donations! We are a non-profit organization dedicated to helping America's homeless and hungry.

We are based in the music community, to draw attention to youth about the less forunate and how they can help. In summer 2008, we were on the Van's Warped Tour and traveled the country setting up donation centers in 44 cities. Attendees of the concert brought goods such as clothing (in good condition), hygiene products (unused and unopened), food, money, etc. in exchange for prizes from bands. Each day, handpicked homeless shelters came and picked up the goods, giving them to those who need it most.

We hope to expand to other music events, as well as hit the road next year with the Warped Tour again. But with the raising costs of gas, we really need grant money for assistance.

We are completely nonprofit, all our money comes straight out of pocket.

Please help us continue assisting those who need it most!

Thank you so very much!
