Local Band Rocks Out To Help Miami Valley Homeless

Updated: 12:42 am EST December 15, 2008

DAYTON, Ohio --A local band rocked out in Dayton during the weekend to raise money for homeless men and women in the Miami Valley.

"We play in a rock band. You know that brings a lot of people out," said Andy Smith, of the band Andrew and the Pretty Punchers. "So it's a good way to have fun and make money for a good cause."

Band members asked for donations for St. Vincent de Paul Hotel homeless shelter during their Saturday performance at the South Park Tavern in Dayton. St. Vincent de Paul is a 220-bed overnight shelter with food and a shower.

"My aunt, who passed away recently, she wanted any donations to go to St. Vincent de Paul," Smith said.

The group raised about $200 for the shelter.

"It's little, but it will make all of the difference I bet for a couple of people," Smith said. "If you can do something little like we did, you might as well."
