Sister Hazel
Nov 23, 2014

Sister Hazel set out on a mission in 2012 that was brought to fruition recently. The band partnered with Feed The Children two years ago after a visit to the impoverished community of Los Laureles, Honduras and challenged their dedicated fans - known affectionately as "The Hazelnuts" - to garner sponsorship for every child in the town of Los Laureles and raise $75,000 to build a feeding center for the community. Having successfully reached both goals, Sister Hazel and a handful of Hazelnuts returned to Los Laureles to witness the transformation and celebrate the feeding center's grand opening.
"The Hazelnuts came through in a huge way," remarked Sister Hazel's Drew Copeland. "It was a special day to be able to serve the first meal in their new feeding center and to share that experience with our fans! To see this community have a safe place to come for clean drinking water, hot meals, and soap and water for basic hygiene is beyond gratifying. There's a lot more work to do, but this is a fantastic start."
