In the spirit of the season, voluntary donations will support one of Savannah' s longstanding charitable organizations Emmaus House. Now in its 42nd year of operation, Emmaus House provides warm meals, laundry, and showers to those in need every weekday morning. 100% of the funds donated at this concert will support the crucial outreach of Emmaus House which serves over 43,000 hot meals a year.

“This concert will be sure to get everyone in the mood for the joy of Christmas and residents and visitors alike are sure to enjoy a special evening,” said George Fergus, Christ Church Episcopal Director of Music. “Music should be about community, and we’re proud that in this season of giving, this concert can support Emmaus House to address food insecurity in our beloved city.”
