& GRAMMY AWARDS® FOR 5^TH YEAR 

Phoenix non-profit to rescue unused catering from Grammy® Week events that include Grammy House, Clive Davis’ and the Recording Academy®’s Pre-Grammy Gala®, the 2026 Grammy Awards® & more

(Phoenix, AZ – 1/27/2026) Musically Fed – who last year provided a record-setting 80,794 meals to organizations in their hometown Phoenix and surrounding communities – today announced their fifth year of collaboration with the Recording Academy® and the Grammy Awards® in mobilizing the music industry to combat food insecurity and hunger in Los Angeles.  Throughout the week of Music’s Biggest Night®, Musically Fed and their team of volunteers will work to repurpose surplus artist/staff/crew catering from events that include Grammy House’s four-day schedule of panels and performances beginning Jan. 28^th, Clive Davis’ and the Recording Academy’s Pre-Grammy Gala® at the Beverly Hilton on January 31^st, the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony® at Peacock Theater, and the Awards telecast at Crypto.com Arena on February 1^st. 

During last year’s Grammy® Week events, Musically Fed rescued and delivered 1,750 meals to the Los Angeles community through local partners that included The Midnight Mission, LA Mission, Good Shepherd Hawkes Transitional Residence and Van Ness Recovery House. Over the course of 2025, the Phoenix-based non-profit has also partnered with Live Nation-Hewitt Silva at The Hollywood Bowl and Tada Catering at Kia Forum, Intuit Dome and SoFi Stadium to provide an additional 9,905 meals to people facing hunger and food insecurity throughout L.A. County. 

“The Grammys are a powerful reminder of how music brings people together,” says David Prentice, President & CEO of The Midnight Mission. “Through Musically Fed’s partnership with The Midnight Mission, that same spirit of connection is reflected in the thoughtful repurposing of food that helps nourish our community. We’re truly grateful for Musically Fed’s support and proud to stand alongside them as The Midnight Mission works every day to ensure these resources reach the individuals and families who need them most.” 

“We are very fortunate to have such a strong partnership with the Grammy Awards and its related events,” states Musically Fed founder and Executive Director, Maria Brunner. “It’s truly a win-win: organizations serving those in need benefit from working alongside a dedicated team to ensure that food which can be safely collected is delivered and enjoyed by families, veterans, seniors, and others throughout the Los Angeles area. We’re grateful for this ongoing relationship.”

The 2026 Grammy Awards will return to Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026, and will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+ at 8-11:30 p.m. ET / 5-8:30 p.m. PT.
