Chicagoland Instrument Drive with Hungry For Music and D’Addario Foundation
Outside Martyr’s, 3-6 p.m.

Bring your instrument donations to the Hungry For Music RV, “Big Bertha” parked directly in front of Martyr’s at 3855 N. Lincoln Avenue, Chicago from 3-6 p.m.

Hungry For Music collects, refurbishes, and redistributes musical instruments to children in need. Help put a musical instrument into a child’s hands. As Todd Rundgren says, “….make sure new hands are learning to play music, new ears are learning to appreciate it, and new hearts are learning to love it.”

We will accept musical instrument donations in any condition, but we DO NOT accept upright pianos or organs. We prefer instruments in playable condition but all donated instruments are welcome. In order to get an official tax deduction, donors MUST affix their name and contact information to the instrument. If you have instruments to donate at this Chicago Instrument Drive, but cannot deliver the instruments to Big Bertha on September 9, please contact us to work out alternative arrangements.
