Spring Concert (June 21) Benefited Hannah House
In collaboration with All Souls Church, Unitarian Jubilee Singers the LGCW presented a concert to benefit Hannah House, a DC non-profit organization that provides structured, caring homes and supportive services for homeless women with and without children.
The concert was a musical coast-to-coast trip from Broadway to Hollywood and was followed by a spaghetti dinner for the audience. It was sponsored in part by a grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities an agency supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Founded in 1979, Hannah House helps residents build healthy families and work toward their goals, which may include life-long recovery from addiction, an improved sense of self, and independent living. Hannah House will receive the net ticket proceeds from the concert.
The LGCW has collaborated with All Souls Unitarian Jubilee Singers in joint concert appearances, at religious services, and at other community events since 2001. The two groups share a commitment to social justice which is embodied in their individual repertoires and presence in the community.
The LGCW offers a complimentary ticket program for those who cannot easily access the arts. The program will distribute tickets for the concert to 40 non-profit, service agencies and organizations.
