CHICO — A sip of beer and some dancing feet may go a long way to help people without homes in Chico, for an all-day concert is returning to benefit the Torres Community Shelter.
Nonprofit True North Housing Alliance has gathered a group of bands and brews donated by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. for its second annual Blues & Brews benefit concert to be held 1 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 21 at the Chico Women’s Club, 592 E. Third St.
In continuing support amid record needs for homeless services, proceeds and donations from this concert will help the nonprofit’s programs at Torres Community Shelter, where its guests are given case management and help to find more permanent housing.
“On average, we serve approximately 700 people each year and house someone every three days,” said Ashiah Bird, director of marketing and communications. “When folks support fundraisers like Blues & Brews, they really make a difference in people’s lives and help our entire community.”
Featuring live bands Big Mo & The Full Moon Band, The Rockhounds, The Stumpjumperz Band and The Unknowns, the concert will include craft beer, signature cocktails and Filipino fusion food from Spralty’s Kitchen.
Prizes from local artists and businesses will be up for raffle including an electric guitar donated by The Music Connection, a painting donated by Chico artist Michael Bone and two season tickets to California Regional Theatre shows.
“Blues & Brews is all about good music, good food, good friends, a good vibe and a good cause,” Bird said.
