One thing Brantley Gilbert knows for sure is that his fans are passionate, they’re loyal, and when he asks them to step up for a good cause, they always come through. That’s why he’s proud to once again be involved in the Outnumber Hunger campaign, with Big Machine Label Group, General Mills and Feeding America, to help raise awareness and food supplies for those suffering with hunger across America.
“The BG Nation, our supporters and our friends, they’re right on the money when it comes to helpin’ us out and supportin’ things,” says Brantley. “We share the support, especially in this group. The Outnumber Hunger thing, they jumped right on it, so we feel pretty good about that.”
Getting involved in Outnumber Hunger is as simple as entering codes from specially marked General Mills products and your zip code at OutnumberHunger.com, to provide meals to your local food bank.
Besides supporting charitable efforts that are close to Brantley’s heart, his fans have also been great about supporting his music, including his latest single, “One Hell of an Amen.”
