Friday Friends - Sheridan School Benefit

Some of my friends are part of the Mill City Church which meets at the Sheridan school in NE Minneapolis. When some realized that kids were hoarding food to take home for the weekend, The Sheridan Story Backpack Program was created to fill bags with food to send home. They didn't want the kids in their neighborhood should to be hungry. The program is growing to other schools and amazing things are happening. 

Now you and I have a chance to hear more about the story and join them in their efforts. Tickets go on sale this morning for a benefit concert with Dan Wilson. Find out more and buy tickets at www.DanWilsonConcert.com. Enjoy a night of great music and be part of fighting hunger!
