A fundraiser for Totes for Hope is planned for Friday, March 22 at 6 p.m. at Bob’s Diner and Bakery in Greybull.
Totes for Hope provides weekend food for students at Big Horn County School District No. 4 in Basin. Bags of food are distributed on Fridays to students whose families face food insecurity. Thirty students are currently signed up.
Carmen Olson, who coordinates Totes for Hope, is extremely thankful for the benefit. She hopes many people will attend not only to help the program but also enjoy hearing local talent.
This is the fourth open mic benefit event hosted by Bob’s. Past recipients included the Kinane family, whose son is battling leukemia,  Saddles in Service and Orrs Hope Foundation were past beneficiaries.
Deanna Skillman said “We will be serving beer, wine, charcuterie snack boxes and table snacks. We will also have coffee, tea and fountain drinks. You don’t want to miss this one. There is a $5 entry fee per person.
“This fee goes to Totes of Hope along with any profits made from food, beverages and additional donations attendees make that night.”
She continued, “We believe in giving back to communities and helping take care of them. By doing so, we create a tribe that is unstoppable and fierce.”
Contact Josiah Skillman, the coordinator, to get on the mic. His number is 918-519-8830. Bob’s has a sound system and additional instruments that may be used by the performers.
