Music With Open Arms: A Benefit Concert to Nourish Our Neighbors

On Saturday, July 12, Matt Gogola will host Music With Open Arms, a benefit concert at The Hook and Ladder Theater, featuring performances by beloved local bands and artists. This powerful evening of live music aims to raise critical funds for Open Arms as we face the devastating impact of recent state and federal budget cuts.

With demand at an all-time high and funding in jeopardy, events like Music With Open Arms help ensure that no one in our community goes without the food they need to heal and thrive. Matt’s connection to Open Arms runs deep. As a former intern and longtime supporter, he has witnessed the power of food, compassion, and community firsthand. We’re honored that he’s chosen to uplift our mission through his music.

Join our community of supporters on July 12 for an unforgettable night where music meets mission—and help us continue to deliver hope, health, and nourishment to our neighbors in need.
