from Friends in Deed
The Los Angeles Children’s Chorus isn’t singing in the rain. It’s singing to provide shelter from the rain and cold this winter for people in the San Gabriel Valley who are homeless and at risk and who need supportive services. The chorus is performing at a Friends In Deed benefit on Thursday, Nov. 14, at San Marino Community Church, 1750 Virginia Road, San Marino.
“Pasadena is a compassionate community,” says the Rev. Pat O’Reilly, executive director of Friends In Deed, “and we are hoping everyone will come together to help support our programs so desperately needed by families and individuals in our city.” An example of recent funding challenges is the loss of city and national funding for winter shelter programs, which means the Bad Weather Shelter cannot accommodate families this year.
Admission is $25 for adults, $15 for student. A silent auction and reception begins at 6 p.m. The concert is at 7 p.m.
