Annual 'Will Sing for Food' Concerts Scheduled for January

It's the busy Christmas season, but there is a big event in January to mark on your calendar.

Thirty musicians are rehearsing for their yearly concert, "Will Sing for Food." The night will be filled with a variety of songs from different genres from pop to rock, folk to Broadway. All donations will help fund the Long Island Council of Churches' food pantries. Suggested donation is $20 each. Come to enjoy the music and help support those in need.
