Benefit Concert for Worcester County Food Bank

According to the Worcester County Food Bank the demand for food has increased by 38% in the last four years. In order to address this serious issue, the Worcester State College alumni will hold a food drive, “A Time For Sharing,” to collect non-perishable food items for the Worcester County Food Bank.

 Alumni Board member and chair of “A Time For Sharing,” John F. Monfredo has announced the kick-off for the event for the food drive will be a benefit concert from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 31, 2005 in the Blue Lounge of the Student Center at the college. Music will be provided by Worcester-based band, “Soul Movement,” and guest band, “Giraffe.”  The bands will be accompanied by Worcester-ite professional singer, Sunta Africa.  The groups have donated their talents for this worthwhile event.   

Admission for the event will be non-perishable food items or a $3.00 admission fee.   Canned goods from April 1st to 14th can be brought to the college where barrels will be placed throughout the campus.  Checks can be made out to the Worcester County Food Bank.  Cash for food and all the food collected will be turned over to the Worcester County Food Bank for distribution.
