Okanagan musicians are banding together to give local food banks a boost.
Called exactly that, Banding Together, the live concert series will provide a two-hour virtual concert Friday that people can take in from the comfort of their own homes.
The Okanagan-based musicians are volunteering their time hoping those who choose to virtually attend the event donate money to a good cause.
The money raised will go to food banks serving Kelowna, West Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country.
Food banks have been serving a record number of people since the pandemic began.
- B.C. to ban drug use in all public places in major overhaul of decriminalization
- Posters promoting ‘Steal From Loblaws Day’ are circulating. How did we get here?
- 3 women diagnosed with HIV after ‘vampire facials’ at unlicensed U.S. spa
- Canadian food banks are on the brink: ‘This is not a sustainable situation’
The free live concert features local bands such as old-time Rock-n-Rollers and country enthusiasts The Strolling Bones, plus special guests Rick ‘Poppa Dawg’ Halisheff, singer/song writers Gail and Karl Hourigan and Brayden Hillcoff.
The event is being co-hosted by Global Okanagan’s Sydney Morton and Laurence East from the Central Okanagan Food Bank.
