A Non-Profit Foundation, Planet Gumbo and their "Planeteers" provide hope and sustenance to folks in need by feeding the needy--body and soul.

We at Squidoo passionately believe in creating new ways to support good causes online. By making a donation to Planet Gumbo from this page, you are sending money directly to that organization, in whatever amount you want. We don't touch it. We don't even see it. The author of this page doesn't either. And if you made it this far, thanks for caring.

Helping Feed The Homeless

The Sauceboss helps nourish body and soul

While on tour across the country, the Sauce Boss and his band take some of their days off to go to a local shelter, play some music, cook some gumbo and help spread a message of hope. Here's a few of the shelters they have played. If one of them is near you, the Google map will help you find it so you can get involved. (Please be patient while the map loads in.)
