A recent benefit concert for Inn Out of the Cold raised $6,500. The concert on November 7th at the CASO Station featured Canadian Country artist and St. Thomas resident Genevieve Fisher and Ben Heffernan.
The benefit concert was organized by the Small Business Enterprise Centre, Railway City Tourism and the St. Thomas Economic Development Corporation and was supported by a number of local businesses after the homeless shelter announced they would be staying open year-round beginning next year.
Business Advisor at SBEC Sarah Noble says that they know the funds will help the homeless shelter.
Noble says that this benefit concert was another example of the local community coming together to support a much needed local cause.
