Fort Worth musical sensation Leon Bridges, best known for his top 10 song “Coming Home,” is giving back to his hometown to support a COVID-19 relief fund.
Bridges is doing a live virtual concert on Thursday to help raise funds for the Southside C.A.R.E.S. Fund, benefiting local creatives and service industry workers.
The concert is set for 8 p.m. on Twitch.tv and viewers can tune at bit.ly/leoncares.
Donations can be made at www.wegetbytogether.com or via PayPal using the name @southsidecares.
The live concert is presented by Kent & Co. Magnolia Wine Bar with support from Schaefer Advertising Co. and Fort Worth Weekly.
The Southside Culinary Arts Retail Entertainment and Service Fund offers $250 relief grants to Near Southside creatives, gig and service workers who are experiencing financial hardship from the coronavirus pandemic.
The fund has been made possible by a $10,000 matching funds lead gift from Marilyn and Marty Englander, owners of Kent & Co., and relies on community contributions to serve applicants.
Any person currently employed, or previously employed in the Near Southside area immediately prior to COVID-19 who is facing a financial hardship can apply for a relief grant.
