A Christmas concert with the Kingery Family will be held at the Litchfield Christian Church on Thursday from 6:30-to-7:30 p.m. – sponsored by Paul & Pam White. A freewill offering will be taken for the Meeker Area Food Shelf.
Paul White says if you’re not able to make a donation, come to the concert any way as they want as many people to hear the great music and Christmas message from the Kingery Family. He says an anonymous donor will match the funds that are raised, and the Food Shelf is such a worthy place to donate money.
White says the concert will last about an hour and refreshments will be served. Jamie Revermann from the Meeker Area Food Shelf says with the cash donations she receives, she can purchase food at a discount from Second Harvest Heartland and she’s seeing more families and elderly people coming in to the Food Shelf for help than ever before. She says the community has really stepped up to help.
Revermann says people are trying to juggle items in their budgets and the only place with some wiggle room is food, but they don’t want people to cut back on their nutritional needs. She says they try to nudge people towards more nutritional items when they visit the food shelf and the food shelves are set up with the healthier items in the front.
Revermann says the Food Shelf in downtown Litchfield is open Mondays from 11-to-6 and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10-to-3; the Food Shelf in Dassel is open Tuesday from 10-to-3 and Thursday from 3-to-6; and they also have a mobile unit for people who cannot make it to the Food Shelf. She says if anyone has questions, they may call 320-693-7661.
