Holding court at El Mercado South's Backstage venue, the Purgatory Players’ Gospel Brunch has formed a peace-loving army of local songsters who turn midday Sundays into a musical, community event. Through the primitive ritual of passing a tip jar, the Purgatory Players’ benevolent, breakfast-taco munching, mimosa-sipping audience gather to provide meals to Central Texans in need via the very efficient tendrils of the Central Texas Food Bank.

The Central Texas Food Bank serves over 46,000 people every week across 21 counties. Many of their clients are children and 67% of the households have at least one working adult. While the food bank is there to help, they are unable to meet the need by 30%. Help us continue to fight hunger in our community and donate today. Every $1 donated provides 4 meals.

The most important way to help right now is to donate if you can.

We continue this fundraiser as a way for more folks to donate online when attending (or playing) a show is not possible. Please donate if you can to fight hunger in these extraordinary times. Every donation matters and every dollar helps! Feel free to share this link with your friends and family!
