Country superstar Shania Twain donates $25,000 to Prince Edward Island food bank
The Cavendish Beach Music Festival is bringing some of the biggest country stars to Prince Edward Island this summer and one of its headliners is giving back in a big way. Canadian icon Shania Twain is set to perform at the popular P.E.I. festival, but she's also helping local families in need. Through the Shania Twain Foundation, Twain is donating $25,000 to the West Prince Caring Cupboard – a food bank that's been supporting families in the region for more than 30 years. 'This donation is just out of this world,' said Barb Ramsay-Desroches, president of the board of directors for the West Prince Caring Cupboard. 'We've been in existence since 1992, and we serve a population of about 16,000 residents in West Prince.' In a statement, Twain said: 'True strength in communities comes from looking out for one another. No one should have to go without the food they deserve, and together, we can make sure that doesn't happen.' Festival organizers say the country superstar's generosity reflects the spirit of the event and the community it draws together every summer. 'People were excited to see Shania before… and I think now even more,' said Ben Murphy, CEO of Whitecap Entertainment. 'Anytime an artist gets involved with the community is so amazing and Shania doing it at such a level is even more meaningful.' The Caring Cupboard says the donation will help stock fresh food items they often can't keep on the shelves – including milk, cheese and bread. 'It's going to be a big boost to be able to go shopping and add those extra items in for our families,' said Ramsay-Desroches. 'We are all volunteers, and we love what we do. It really comes from the heart. I believe this donation from Shania Twain is something that's really coming from her heart too. We feel very blessed that she selected our organization.' Thousands of country music fans will flock to Cavendish for the festival, which runs July 10-12.
