An annual Christmas show to help collect donations for local food banks has been scrapped for this year, but organizers of the Holiday Jam for Hunger are finding new ways to give back.
A compilation dating back to 2007 has been put together and the show is moving online.
“We had a great walk down memory lane seeing some of the old shows and everyone playing their favourite music together,” organizer Allyson Storey says.
And while Storey advises people not to expect a professional-grade studio presentation, she asks people to remember the reason behind creating this online playlist.
