A Night of Music and Comedy for aGreater Good

The event will raise vital funds and awareness for God’s Love We Deliver, a New York-based nonprofit organization that has been providing medically tailored meals to individuals living with severe illnesses since 1985. Over the years, the organization has delivered more than 40 million meals, addressing over 200 diagnoses with its compassionate and life-saving services. Last year alone, God’s Love We Deliver cooked, packaged, and home-delivered over 4 million meals to 17,000 New Yorkers in need. This year, the concert will also support the Food is Medicine Coalition, specifically aiding Project Angel Food in Los Angeles as they respond to the devastating impact of wildfires in the region.
Celebrating a Legacy of Compassion and Impact
As God’s Love We Deliver marks a milestone of delivering over 40 million meals since its founding during the AIDS pandemic, the 9th annual Love Rocks NYC concert takes on an even deeper significance.

This year is especially meaningful as God’s Love We Deliver celebrates having delivered more than 40 million meals since our founding in 1985. We are so proud of our work nourishing our neighbors affected by severe and chronic illness, and we are grateful to Love Rocks NYC for the visibility and funds it raises for God’s Love We Deliver.” The event not only celebrates the nonprofit’s remarkable legacy but also underscores the importance of continuing their mission to provide nutrition and hope to those in need.
