The 11th Annual Collingsworth Concert, held on August 1st at Bethany Baptist Church, was a heartwarming evening of praise and worship, uniting supporters, volunteers, and music enthusiasts. Proceeds from the concert will directly support Midwest Food Bank's mission to provide food and hope to those in need. This beloved event highlighted the power of community and the unwavering support for our cause.
Now in its 11th year, the Collingsworth Concert has become a key event in our community service calendar. Partnering with the Collingsworth Family, the concert has consistently drawn larger audiences and raised essential funds for our educational and healthcare initiatives, showcasing the lasting impact of community collaboration.
Bethany Baptist Church has hosted the Collingsworth Concert for several years, providing an ideal setting for worship and fellowship. The church's commitment goes beyond offering a venue; their congregation actively participates as volunteers and sponsors, enhancing the event's success.
This year's concert was a spectacular showcase of talent and community spirit. The Collingsworth Family delivered an inspiring performance, and attendees learned more about our mission. "We are deeply grateful for the continued support from the Collingsworth Family, Bethany Baptist Church, and our generous sponsors," says Christa Staley, Executive Director of Midwest Food Bank Peoria.
