Justin Levy is the executive director of Conscious Alliance, a Colorado based nonprofit that organizes food donation drives at concerts and music festivals across the nation.
Founded in 2002, Conscious Alliance is a national nonprofit, bringing healthy food into underserved communities and fusing music with opportunities to make a positive impact.
Through their Art That Feeds food drives at concerts and festivals nationwide, partnerships with graphic designers to create fundraising posters and merchandise, fan donations, and large-scale grocery donations from various food brands, Conscious Alliance is now delivering over 2 MILLION meals annually, to the families who need it most.
They have collected monetary donations, as well as food donations through activations at world-renowned festivals such as Austin City Limits, LOCKN' Festival, Euphoria Music Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, Hangout Music Festival, Electric Forest Festival, Harvest Music Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, and many others.
Their artist collaborations include musicians you know and love, like Alanis Morrisette, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Dave Matthews Band, Dispatch, Grateful Dead, Incubus, Jack Johnson, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Mumford & Sons, My Morning Jacket, Pretty Lights, STS9, The Lumineers, The Revivalists, Trevor Hall, Umphrey's McGee, Widespread Panic, Wilco, and many more.
We discuss why we have food insecurity issues in one of the most successful world nations, the collaboration created between Justin’s organization and musicians, and how he has led the organization through dealing with personal health issues like cerebral palsy and dyslexia.
