The concert is FREE, with a freewill offering benefiting neighbor and community partner Simpson Housing Services. Simpson Housing Services began as an emergency overnight shelter at Simpson United Methodist Church in 1982. For four decades, they have been a leading nonprofit helping people experiencing homelessness. In response to unmet community needs, their key programs have grown to include the following: emergency shelter; supportive housing programs for youth, single adults, and families; and developmental and educational services for children. They annually support 2,000 people experiencing and transitioning out of homelessness, including 300 families with 650 children.
