Rock for a Remedy (RFAR) is a non-profit organization based in the United States. It was established in 2003.[1] It organises concerts to help organisations that supply food to needy people, such as the Northeast Iowa Food Bank[2] and the Capital Area Food Bank.[3] Artistes who have performed at these concerts include Matt Nathanson,[4] Guster,[3] and Brett Dennen.[5]
Rock for a Remedy (RFAR) is a 501c3 non-profit bringing together socially conscious musicians and their civic-minded fans via food drives all across North America, with all donations given to area food banks in local communities.
