See local music for the price of a can of soup and help out the Greenwood Food Bank at a benefit concert this Friday when the owner of the Ballard Sip and Ship will host a concert at the Greenwood location, featuring Seattle indie band Ivan and Alyosha and special guests.

Diana Naramore opened the Ballard store in October 2002 and in March she expanded to Greenwood.

This is not the first time Naramore has sponsored aid for people in need. In 2005 the Ballard Sip and Ship held a donation drive to help victims of Hurricane Katrina and packaged and shipped items free of charge directly to a relief center in Louisiana.

"We love that about our business that we're able to help people," said Naramore.

The event is open to the public and requires a donation of food. Door prizes will be given out from area businesses.

The Greenwood shop is located at 8560 Greenwood Ave. N.
