Glen Ellyn Food Pantry hosts 'Rockin' for the Pantry' concert Sept. 17
The Glen Ellyn Food Pantry invites the community for an evening of fun and music featuring the bands of Glen Ellyn's School of Rock from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 17 in the parking lot of Faith Lutheran Church, 41 N. Park Blvd. in Glen Ellyn.
Guests are encouraged to bring chairs and picnic baskets, sit under the stars at their cars or close to the stage, and enjoy rock 'n roll tunes from across the decades.
Since Sept. 17 is Hunger Action Day, the food pantry is requesting donations of cans of tuna or chicken; and asking everyone to wear orange - the color of hunger relief.
Tickets for "Rockin' for the Pantry" are available in advance online for $50 per car ($65 at the door) or $25 per person for those who prefer to walk or bike.
