Come for a Sunday afternoon of great live music and fun for the whole family. Celebrate how much fun music can be as Delta Community Choir performs a variety of folk songs from different eras and ethnic traditions; "fake" songs (easy-listening jazz/American songbook standards); and a medley that celebrates the nostalgia of TV's classic theme songs. All proceeds from the concert will benefit the Our Savior Lutheran Food Bank, a food pantry for the Greater Lansing Food Bank, which serves more than 550 people monthly with food, clothing, household, and personal care items. The Delta Community Choir was formed in 2013 and became a (501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization in 2015. The non-auditioned Choir's mission is to "Build Community Through Song" by connecting choral art with community service. Singers of all walks of life from Delta Township work together to make beautiful music and produce significant support for area non-profits. No reservations are necessary. Attendees give free-will donations at concerts. The Choir has generated over $34,000 through this method since 2013- with 100% of those dollars going to support local non-profit organizations. Many organizations benefited from the Choir's efforts to date: groups like Volunteers of America Homeless Veterans, Grand Ledge Food Bank, Delta/Waverly Rotary Club Backpack Program, Alzheimer's Association- Great Lakes Chapter, Tri-County Office on Aging- Meals-on-Wheels program, Grand Ledge National Guard Family Reading Program, SIREN/Eaton Shelter Project, FAN - the Eaton and Ingham County Chapters of Families Against Narcotics, Hannah's House, Canines for Change, and more.
