2023 Nonprofits

Food Drive

Join High Sierra Music Festival and Conscious Alliance in the fight to end hunger and empower youth right here in the local Quincy community, and also nationwide! Stop by the Conscious Alliance booth (indicated on the festival map) and donate 20 non-perishable food items or a suggested monetary donation to the HSMF ‘Art That Feeds’ Food Drive and receive a commemorative event poster created by one of Conscious Alliance’s very talented artists. A limited number of posters will be available so don’t miss out! Donations will benefit the Community Assistance Network in Quincy, CA.

Conscious Alliance always encourages food donations to be low-sodium and health-oriented products. ORGANIC food donations are especially encouraged. Ramen Noodles will NOT be accepted in exchange for the poster.


Conscious Alliance

Conscious Alliance is a nonprofit that empowers young people to make an impact by collaborating with their favorite musicians, artists, and food makers to help feed kids and families in underserved communities. Hunger is a widespread problem, so they take a multifaceted approach to ending it. They host ‘Art That Feeds’ Food Drives at concerts and music festivals. They partner with healthy food makers to secure large-scale donations. They empower young people to get involved by dropping philanthropic opportunities smack in the middle of a good time. They’re on a mission to make sure families get enough to eat.

Make sure to swing by the Conscious Alliance booth and donate to this year’s High Sierra Music Festival x ‘Art That Feeds’ Food Drive for a limited-edition event poster! Donations will benefit the local community by going to Community Assistance Network in Quincy.

Shabbat Tent

Shabbat Tent is an “oasis of chill”, a place for sharing food, song, conversation and Shabbat celebrations to enhance your Festival experience. We also offer Kabbalistic meditation, cell-phone charging and creative activities.  Above all Shabbat Tent is a place to unplug, hydrate and connect with other festival goers and is always open to everyone! Peace and Shalom!

Plumas Arts

Plumas Arts keeps art and culture a vital part of everyday life in these Sierra Mountains with art workshops in schools, events, gallery art-walks and more. We make a real difference with projects that restore and revitalize historic buildings in Quincy including the Capitol Arts Gallery housing fine art to artisan crafts by regional artists, and Town Hall Theatre — the only movie house within a 70-mile radius that shows feature and art house films and provides a performing arts space. We also recently launched the Plumas Artisan Made branding, marketing and training program for local handmade goods.
