‘Elvis’ will be in Quesnel for a benefit to bring donations in after the loss of the local food bank.
After the fire claimed the Nourish Food Bank in Quesnel in May, a group of community members is putting on a benefit to get food donations back into the city.
“There are a lot of people in this community that need that help,” says Eva Overbury, one of the organizers of the ‘Elvis is in the House Benefit’. “Some are on a low budget, and at times don’t have enough to eat, so we’re trying to help out.”
An Elvis Tribute Artist will be the main performance, and there will also be a performance by Debbie & Roger.
The Benefit will take place on July 4, located at 365 Kinchant Street, in the old Greyhound building.
Doors will open at 6:30 pm, and performances to begin at 7 pm, and the benefit ending at 9 pm.
“We’re hoping that the community of Quesnel will come out and be right behind us on this,” Overbury says. “Nourish was important to our community, and we want to help get them back on their feet.”
