Dozens of musicians and performers from across Whidbey Island are coming together for a benefit concert to feed the island community.

Whidbey Rising will begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22 at the Coupeville High School Performing Arts Center. The event is organized by musician Barbara Dunn and sponsored by a diverse array of community groups.

More than a dozen local singers and musical groups will share their talents in order to raise money to combat food insecurity in light of cuts to SNAP and unpaid federal workers.

“As we follow the news, many of us are looking for a way to help our neighbors,” said Dunn. “Together we hope to entertain and inspire the community while raising money to ensure everyone on the island can put food on the table.”
