posted in: All news | 0

Grab a beach towel and sunscreen and prepare to dance as three local bands will perform at White Bear Lake County Park for an annual event to raise money to provide food to neighbors in need, according to the White Bear Lake Area Food Shelf.

White Bear Lake’s 13th annual Heartbeat for Hunger benefit Saturday, Aug. 2, will include musical genres of rock, indie alternative and a fusion of funk, pop, R&B and jazz. Attendees can also enjoy food trucks, cold drinks and a raffle with the chance to win a 2-year lease on a Mazda CX-30 or Chevy Trax from Walser.

Proceeds from the event will go toward the White Bear Area Food Shelf.

The Food Shelf and its volunteers work to create low-barrier access to healthy food, build relationships with community members and offer support services to those experiencing hunger, according to a press release. It serves more than 300 visitors per day through programming and includes a walk-in self-serve community market, curbside grocery pick-up, mobile markets for low-income seniors and college students, a school pantry and KidPack backpack programs for children and youth.

Artists performing at the concert will include Minnesota-based alt-rock/pop group Yam Haus, ‘genre-bending’ sibling quartet NunnAbove, known for ‘their electrifying live shows and soulful fusion of funk, rock, pop, R&B and jazz,’ and newly debuted Minneapolis indie-alternative trio Call Me Fritz.

Advance tickets for the show cost $20 and gate tickets are $25. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the concert for $20 or in advance at the Food Shelf.
