Singers sought to help food banks while sharing holiday cheer

Singers and others willing to share their musical talents – including individuals, friends and organized groups – can help local food banks while bringing smiles to shoppers this holiday season.

The annual Sing from the Heart event will be conducted December 9-11, 2011 at all TOP Food and Drug stores. 

TOP Foods will donate a $50 gift card to a local food bank for each hour an individual or group presents holiday music. Participants may include organizations, quartets, choirs, families or friends.

“These local singers and musicians make the holidays more pleasant while also helping many families,” said Becky Skaggs, spokesperson for TOP Food and Drug stores.

Sing from the Heart will be presented at each TOP Foods store from 2-7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, noon-6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10 and noon-5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11. Groups must register in advance for a time at the guest services counter of a TOP Foods store or by calling their local store.

Haggen, Inc. operates 28 supermarkets in Washington and Oregon under the TOP Food and Drug and Haggen Food & Pharmacy names. Headquartered in Bellingham, it is the largest independent grocer based in the State of Washington. For more information, visit www.Top-Foods.com.
