RFH presents...The Sound of Crickets!
We’ll be the first to admit it: Things around the RFH site have been a little, well…boring. Updates on the site and Facebook groups have been almost non-existent and Twitter updates have been almost totally unrelated to RFH's work. We are not dead! We are however hitting the snooze button a few times…
Our founders and volunteers have mutually agreed to take a short break on RFH ventures in order to pursue individual projects for the time being! We're all going out into the big, scary world and trying to make a different in our own unique and creative ways.
As always, our volunteers and founders remain passionate about social injustices including homelessness and continue to donate their time and money to this cause and other causes close to their hearts. We will not turn down any opportunities and would still like to hear from you if you have an idea for RFH or would like to join our team!
Hopefully this break is short and sweet and we can get things rolling again very soon!
If you need to reach us or want to know where we've been, what kind of crazy shananigans we have in the works, or just want to buy us a burrito, drop us a line at the dusty RFH office: Jordan.howard@rockforhumanity.com Jamie.cuthbertson@rockforhumanity.com Or follow Rock for Humanity on Twitter: twitter.com/rockforhumanity – we don’t talk much about social issues because that would just be kind of sad and depressing, but you can find out what we’re eating for dinner, how fat the RFH cat is getting, what we're trying to do to make a difference or what bands we’re currently into. Cheers! RFH presents ONE NIGHT OUT !!!!! Join us on February 24th and camp out on the streets of Toronto in support of Free the Children! Then come rock out at the wrap up party at The Horseshoe!
