Saturday’s Grand Ole Opry To Benefit Feeding America
The Grand Ole Opry, Circle, and Gray Television are coming together on Saturday, Feb. 27 during the live Opry broadcast to help raise money and awareness for the fight against food insecurity.
All proceeds will benefit Feeding America, a network of 200 food banks and more than 60,000 food pantries in communities across the country.
Opry members Chris Janson and Travis Tritt, along with rising star Hailey Whitters, will perform on the broadcast. Bobby Bones will host the show which airs at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT.
Gray television stations, including several in markets hit particularly hard by last week’s weather events, will contribute local stories and personalities to speak to the problem of hunger in America and ways viewers can help.
The Grand Ole Opry will air on Circle, and on Gray TV stations, DISH Studio Channel 102, Sling TV and other TV affiliates in addition to a companion live stream on Circle’s Facebook and YouTube pages. The show will also be heard on 650 AM WSM and SiriusXM’s Willie’s Roadhouse.
Food insecurity has been rising at alarming rates over the last year and was compounded by extreme weather across several states last week.
