A collection of musical artists from Sumner gathered together Dec. 7 to raise money and nonperishable food items for the Sumner Community Food Bank.

Sumner musician James Coates called upon his friends Pam Carter of Pam Carter & The Gents and Michael Hochstatter and Kevin Poleskie of The Cloves to help with the event.

“Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or just enjoy the holidays, there is one tradition that is universal: giving. Thank you so much,” Coates said.

Donations are still needed at the food bank. To help out this holiday season, please take canned or other nonperishable food items to 15625 Main Street East, or call 253-863-3793.
