    • On October 13, 2009, Dylan released an album of Christmas standards, Christmas In The Heart. The U.S. royalties, in perpetuity, will benefit Feeding America, the nation's leading hunger-relief charity - while the UN's World Food Programme and Crisis In The UK, will receive the royalties from overseas sales. In announcing his first Christmas and first charity album, Bob said "We must each do what we can to help feed those who are suffering and support efforts to find long-term solutions … It's a tragedy that more than 35 million people in this country alone - 12 million of those children - often go to bed hungry and wake up each morning unsure of where their next meal is coming from."
