The donated food will be distributed to the over 200 agencies in Southwest Virginia that are served by the Roanoke-based food bank.
The concert food drive is part of the national "Mama's Hungry Eyes" campaign against hunger. The campaign - supported by 16 top country music artists, including Black and Alan Jackson, who performed in Salem last week - will help support more than 300 food banks around the country.
