They say music is for the soul, but it can also be used to keep others warm.

Jamming for Jackets is an event that will bring local musicians to the stage, for the price of a donation.

One of the organizers, Daniel Emerson has been planning the event for a number of weeks, and says the support has been great:

"From the people I know, the way people help out, what people do for each other here, it’s just amazing and you don’t see that in a lot of other communities these days. I think that’s one of the reasons that we chose to come together, we barely knew each other and we chose to come together and put on a show, just because we wanted to start getting out there and doing a little bit more".

They’ll be jamming for warm winter wear, and non-perishable food items tonight at the Juniper Centre from 6-9pm.
