Twenty years in and the community continues to give. That is the message organizers of the 2024 Holiday Jam for Hunger received.
The 20th annual event took place Dec. 28 at Sons of Kent, raising more than $4,000. Organizers said that’s the biggest dollar tally yet for the annual event.
Three bands — 40 Hours Over, the Dave Trinca Xperience, and the Soul Remedy Orchestra – donated their time and talents to perform for the event.
“I could not be happier with the results,” said Alysson Storey who has organized the event for the past 13 years. “When one in five families are facing serious food insecurity in Chatham-Kent, to see the community come out so strongly to support our efforts to help, it means a lot.”
And to raise the most money yet, in just a few short hours, is incredibly heartwarming. And this will help a lot of people.”
