How would you feel if you could help meet human needs in your community while sitting in an auditorium with hundreds of your friends and neighbors enjoying some of your favorite music? Then look no farther than the second annual Seeds of Hope, a fundraiser that kicked off Friday in The Villages and continues through March 17. 89

1/18/2012 DAILY SUN ARTICAL Those who appreciate good music can receive admis- sion to one or both of two concerts to be performed later this month at churches in The Villages in exchange for their monetary or material support for charities providing food to those in need. For the second consecutive year, this endeavor is being organized by Villagers to benefit the Wildwood Soup Kitchen and Wildwood Food Pantry. Heading the effort to raise $10,000 in cash and collect 20,000 pounds of nonperishable foods, both figures representing a doubling of the goals from the program's inaugural year, are Villages residents Lois Bittner and Donna Ford Vierow. . . . 90
