Food bank workers, volunteers and supporters \u00e2\u20ac\u201c individual and corporate \u00e2\u20ac\u201c rely on awareness-building to accomplish their mission of ending hunger,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Tom. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Huron Carole will expand our ability to raise funds, awareness and hope, creating change one song at a time.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The Huron Carole is a project of the Christmas &#038; Winter Relief Association whose mandate is to support organizations doing hands-on work with the homeless and hungry in Canada. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tickets are <a href=\"http:\/\/ev7.evenue.net\/cgi-bin\/ncommerce3\/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS%3ACP%3AS1213%3AHS1129C%3A&#038;linkID=centrepointe&#038;shopperContext=&#038;pc=&#038;caller=&#038;appCode=&#038;groupCode=OTHER&#038;cgc=\">on sale now<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a lovely idea for a night out to kick off the festive season.
