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.
