Tomorrow, thirty music, media, and assorted arts professionals will be taking a break from their day jobs to help out Caritas of Austin, a local nonprofit that feeds the homeless and strives to get them back on their feet. The event starts by putting these enthusiastic volunteers to work at the downtown food kitchen during the day, where they'll get to see firsthand just how Caritas goes about its mission. Later in the evening, they'd like you to join them for the "What Gives" Food Drive & Fundraiser Benefit at the Mohawk, a big charity bash catered by Woodland and Frank and featuring music by DJ A.One (of Dallas' The Cannabinoids). Host Mike Wiebe of The Riverboat Gamblers will oversee an auction of goods from a plethora of local stores and businesses, including Woodland, Frank, Decoder Ring, Transmission Entertainment, Olivia, Mint Salon, and more.
