After the successful Summer Nights concert, Crescenta Valley Church presents Lift – A Thanksgiving Benefit Concert For Needy Families on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome in La Crescenta, Montrose, Glendale and the surrounding areas to join in a night of helping the needy while having fun and enjoying great music by Katy Perry, Coldplay, Rihanna and others.

Come and bring family, friends, neighbors and colleagues. There will be refreshments and free childcare for kids under 5 years of age.

Just before Thanksgiving is the perfect time to get together to enjoy music and help “Lift” up the spirits of each other and of those in need. Come enjoy the concert and bring canned goods (no glass containers, please!), meats, chunky soups, pancake mixes, hot and cold cereal, pasta, pasta sauce and other non-perishable foods as well as toiletry items like tissue, toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo and soap to benefit Sue’s Garden, a charity that is helping 40 local families that have been hit by the hard times. More info is available at www.cvchurch.com.

CVCHURCH is very musical. Some of the players have played with major artists, and some are artists on their own right.

Crescenta Valley Church is located at 4001 La Crescenta Ave. in La Crescenta (at the corner of Piedmont between Montrose and Honolulu avenues).
