Mill Valley's Winter Concert - January 23rd, 2020

We're All in This Together..
This year’s winter concert theme is all about community and how we are there for each other. Mill Valley would like to help our Muskego Community by restocking the Muskego Food Pantry shelves. At Christmas time, there are many organizations collecting food for our community but after the holidays things tend to run short. Here at MV we are looking to help out our community throughout the year. Our gardens are a perfect example of that! We thought that we would once again ask for donations for the Muskego Food Pantry to be brought in on concert day. We will have bins available outside the concert for any donations that you are able to share! The Muskego Food Pantry is in need of the following specific items:
Non-perishable food items such as: any soup, mac-n-cheese, jelly, ketchup, mustard, beans, assorted veggies and fruits.
Toiletries such as: soap, shampoo, conditioner
Pet Food: cat and dog (there is a great need for this right now)
Anything that you can donate would be GREATLY appreciated and the Mill Valley Family is grateful that we truly are… ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!!
See you on Thursday, January 23rd for the big show!!!!
