Vans Warped Tour is celebrating it's 22nd year on the road. While it is one of the largest traveling music festivals, it has so much more to offer than just music. Vans Warped Tour is also one of the most charitable tours on the road. Check out some of the non-profits on tour this summer and support some awesome causes while also supporting some really great bands.

Epitaph Records has released a Summer Sampler including tracks by artists This Wild Life, Falling in Reverse, Sleeping With Sirens, and Beautiful Bodies in an effort to raise funds to purchase non-perishable food items to be donated to Feed Our Children Now. Fans can pay whatever they choose to download the sampler. Proceeds donated before July 9th will be used to purchase the non-perishable food items in an attempt to set the World Record for the largest food drive in an 8 hour period at a single location on July 10, 2015 at the Camden, NJ date of the Vans Warped Tour presented by Journeys.
Feed Our Children Now has partnered with Vans Warped Tour since 2007 and now stages food drives at every venue on the Tour. Last summer, 413,000 pounds of food was collected and donated to 42 charities in 42 US cities. Food collected is donated to local agencies that distribute it to families in need during the critical summer months when children are faced with hunger in the absence of school lunches.
