A concert to benefit Housing Hope is planned for Saturday, April 26 at 2 p.m. at St. Cecilia Catholic Church, 26900-78th Avenue NW in Stanwood.
The 13th annual "Voices of Hope" choral benefit concert and bake sale benefits Housing Hope's Lervick Family Village, located in Stanwood. Built in 1996, Lervick Family Village provides homes for 14 families in need of emergency, transitional and permanent housing. In addition to needed housing, these families are given the social service support that enables them to become self-sufficient. There are currently 18 children residing at Lervick Family Village, ranging in age from toddlers to teenagers.
"Voices of Hope" is organized by Housing Hope's Stanwood Ambassadors, a long-standing committee of volunteers supporting Lervick Family Village. Stanwood High School choir director Erik Ronning will again direct the concert. The program includes performances by local school and church choirs.
The bake sale, featuring a variety of homemade goods from Stanwood area citizens, immediately follows the concert.
