After partnering with the United Nations’ World Food Program two years ago and creating the I Went Hungry campaign, the seminal reggae band has continued to donate the unused funds from their hospitality riders (the things an artist requests from the venue or promoter on the day of the show). Aston “Familyman” Barrett, bassist and one of the original Wailers, says, “We’ve been at it over two years now and we make a lot of income for them from charity shows and we sell things at our merchandise stands, like T-shirts that say ‘I Went Hungry.’ We love it. We love to help people globally, trying to save lives.”
