The Huron Carole and Rotary Centre for the Arts Team Up to Support Central Okanagan Community Food Bank

With the COVID-19 pandemic unleashing both health and economic crises across the globe, demand at food banks is likely to increase this holiday season, so downtown Kelowna’s Rotary Centre for the Arts and the Huron Carole have teamed up to help raise awareness and generate support for the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank.

The Huron Carole is a seasonal music tradition featuring holiday classics, unique stories, and original music performed by Tom Jackson and award-winning musicians Tom McKillip, Darryl Havers, John MacArthur Ellis, Kirby Barber and Chris “the wrist” Nordquist.

Founded in 1987 by Jackson, the Huron Carole has toured from coast to coast to coast becoming a festive favourite, raising millions and collecting tonnes of food for Canadian food banks. This year, Tom, and his jolly crew, will be travelling across Canada virtually, helping local food banks as they go. They will be performing a digital concert hosted by the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna in support of the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank on Saturday, November 28 via Zoom.
