Coos Bay (KMTR) - Coos County will be “rocking for food" this weekend. It's the latest fundraiser benefiting the South Coast Food Share. Portland-based band Hookah Stew will be play a live rock concert, and the benefit was all their idea. Folks at Oregon Coast Community Action say the band's lead singer called them up a few months ago, wanting to put together a fundraiser to help feed local kids and families. "We got a call out of the blue! Apparently they've done events like this in the past. I know they have a really strong belief in advocating for hunger relief efforts," said Volunteer Coordinator Madeline Enos.
The “Rock for Food” concert is Saturday, September 24th at Walt's Pourhouse in Coos Bay. The show starts at 9 p.m., and admission is two non-perishable food items or a cash donation. This is a 21 and over event. All proceeds will go to the South Coast Food Share.
