LAS VEGAS, NV -- On September 22,2024 members of the local Las Vegas punk scene along with other organizations and groups came together once again to help those less fortunate in our community.


Spearheaded by Terror Attack front man Bowser, a group of 44 volunteers managed to feed over 400 people freshly cooked tacos, BBQ chicken and pulled pork sandwiches as well as pizzas donated by local punk favorite Evel Pie.



Aside from food other basic needs and necessities were also made available. Everything from clean socks, t-shirts, sweat shirts and blankets as well as various hygiene supplies such as soap and disinfectant wipes were passed out to all who wanted or needed them.



Food and supplies were not the only things made available here, There were people giving haircuts to those that wanted them. U.S. Vets was on deck to help get homeless veterans the help and services they need. There were also people handing out Narcan and information for those battling with addiction as well as HIV testing for those that wanted it.


For some people there is no other choice but to live on the street. Having been there myself at various points in my life I know what even the smallest gesture of kindness can mean to someone in need. No matter the situation every human being deserves food and basic necessities. Regardless of the reason why they are in the predicament they’re in.


Being kind and helping other people is the only way we’ll survive. Just because someone is homeless or a drug addict doesn’t make them a bad person. We should all come together and try to get people the help they need. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of others but not everyone is lucky to have friends that care about their health and safety and that’s where events and programs like this one come into play.


Its been a little over 25 years since my time living as a drug addict on the streets of Houston Texas. Seeing the punk community that I love come together to help people in need in our community gives me hope for our future. People like those that volunteered to help with this event are the hope for our future, 

What started as a small flame is quickly growing into a roaring fire for change. To everyone else we look like a bunch of criminals and hooligans, but we care about our community, our city and all those in it no matter their race, religion or political stance. We are all people and we all deserve to be treated with basic human kindness.

Before I go I want to give a huge shout out and thank you to U.S. Vets, Just One Project, Trac-B, Haircuts for the Homeless, The Center, Shine-a-Light, Toys-4-Dogs, TBS-13 and Vaztech productions, Rebel Rhythm Collective and Scumbags Las Vegas. Also a very huge thank you to the Restoration and recovery foundation for letting us use their lot and allowing us to do these outreach events. To everyone involved I consider it an honor and privilege to know and work beside so many amazing people.

In closing, don’t judge someone by how they look or live. This group of people that came together for no other reason than the kindness in their hearts is full of people from all races, religions and backgrounds. It is our belief in being decent human beings that brings us together and drives us to help and improve our community. Even the smallest gesture of kindness goes a long way so take an example from the Las Vegas punx and help your fellow human beings rise up instead of beating them down. We only grow together and together we can change the world.
