There is still time to attend the remaining four  concerts sponsored by Seeds of Hope (SOH) and benefiting the Wildwood Soup Kitchen and the Wildwood Food Pantry. Concerts are free but a bag of food, cash or a tax deductible check made out to: Seeds of Hope-WSK is greatly appreciated, particularly by the individuals and families who benefit from these programs. Contrary to many programs, 100 percent of  donations go directly to food for the Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen.  The Wildwood Soup Kitchen, the Wildwood Food Pantry and Seeds of Hope all work on a zero budget. There is no paid staff and any expenses incurred are paid by volunteers or generous businesses in our area.  Every penny or bag of food you donate goes directly to feed our hungry neighbors.

Come enjoy an afternoon or evening of great music and simultaneously support the Wildwood Soup Kitchen and Wildwood Food Pantry.
