Tom Petty and Mudcrutch will perform a pair of benefit shows for L.A.'s Midnight Mission, which has served the city's homeless population for over 100 years.

Mudcrutch will play Monday and Tuesday, May 23 and 24 at the Plaza del Sol theater at Cal State Northridge.

The shows are labeled "From Northridge With Love" as part of a series of ". . . With Love" fundraisers spearheaded since 2007 by Norman Harris of Norm's Rare Guitars in Tarzana. Other "With Love" benefits have taken place in Malibu and Hollywood.

"We are honored to have Mudcrutch involved in this event," Midnight Mission Director of Public Affairs Georgia Berkovich told The Times.

"The monetary part is beyond helpful, especially with giving being down across the board for charitable organizations.

The awareness these events bring is harder to measure, but it's also incredibly important."

Midnight Mission was founded in 1914 to serve L.A.'s homeless population. Since 2012, the organization has typically served more than one million meals a year.
