Individuals and groups, from kids to adults, will perform at historic St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Audience members may come and go any time between songs.

Sing-a-Thon admission is free, and only monetary donations -- cash and checks payable to Bethel Community Food Pantry-- will be received at the door. BCFP is an all-volunteer, non-profit providing food, paper goods and toiletries to Bethel residents in need.
