The 'Give Us Your Poor' concert will be a night to remember. The exclusive appearances by Natalie Merchant, Mighty Sam McClain, Greek Tenor Mario Frangoulis and others including previously homeless musicians who perform on the Give US Your Poor CD will be exciting and at the same time, deeply moving. Accompanying the concert, there will be stunning large, framed portraits of homeless people by photographer Lynn Blodgett.

The concert features three of the most amazing voices in the music industry, as well as formerly homeless musicians from the Give US Your Poor CD, compelling stories, video messages, and a spoken word poem from also on the Give US Your Poor CD by poet Julia Dinsmore. There will be scholarship announcements by the Horatio Alger Association and other surprises. Parking is available, as well as a safe and secure environment.
