Matty O'Brien, front man for one of the greatest bands of all time, and the rest of The Crawl have decided to start up a charity for the local homeless called Pure Soul. Pure Soul will be collecting gently used coats, jackets, hats, gloves, and other various warm clothing, and will be personally handed out to the local homeless on long island by members of the band, and various Memphis Crawl groupies such as myself.
This is a great cause so please help out as much as you can. The main collection of contributions from all you wonderful fans out there will be done just before and directly after Memphis Crawl's live performances. If you are unable to attend any of The Crawl's show's but would still like to donate, please feel free to leave a comment on the blog and I will personally come and pick up your donations.
There are so many people a lot less fortunate then ourselves. No matter how little we have in this trying times, they have a whole lot less, and in some cases nothing. It's cold enough outside this winter, lets not be cold in denying these people their basic need for warmth.
"I basically just started this because Memphis Crawl always has and always will root for the underdog, in words of my friend James Skidmore, 'Love is Action' I think this band is a great forum to spread the word and help people who need it" -Matty O'Brien
"We want nothing in return except to make it a little easier on the people and show them that there are people out there who still care and are rooting for them, and life is not all about money, it's about love!" -Memphis Crawl
So from Matty O'Brien, the rest of Memphis Crawl, and myself (Ben Pollicino) we ask you to please go through your attic, and dressers, or whatever other receptacle you hold your clothes in and help us clothe the homeless! If you don't have anything to donate, there are TONS of thrift stores across long island where you can find clothes for only a couple of dollars.
Let us build an army... an army for Memphis Crawl
