Country musician Blind Joe, a Fargo-area native based in Nashville, will present a Facebook Live concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 2, to benefit the Great Plains Food Bank.
The concert by Blind Joe, a contestant on the ninth season of “The Voice,” will be available on the Blind Joe and the Great Plains Food Bank Facebook pages.
Audience members can make donations during the event and have the chance to interact with Blind Joe by leaving comments, including song requests, said Jared Slinde, food bank employee.
The performance is being presented in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when a large number of hungry children, seniors and families are turning to the Great Plains Food Bank, Slinde said.
The Great Plains Food Bank, in its 38th year, serves as North Dakota’s only food bank. It operates in partnership with 213 food pantries, shelters and soup kitchens operating in 99 communities across North Dakota and in Clay County, Minn.
