Spot a tuba at a Salem business? You can drop in cash or a check to help local food banks and support musicians.
Salem Symphonic Winds and Marion Polk Food Share have launched a fundraising campaign called “Feed the Tuba, Feed the Hungry, Feed Your Soul.” A tuba is making the rounds to collect donations, starting at Hear No Evil Hi-Fi Sound & Image, 2290 Commercial St. NE.
Proceeds will be shared between the two organizations as Salem Symphonic Winds prepares to resume live performances, and the Food Share continues seeing high demand.
Toni Skelton, vice chair of the Symphonic Winds board, said the campaign will likely continue through mid-summer. Salem residents can check on the tuba’s whereabouts on the group’s Facebook page.
