𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐄𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞, 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐝!
Once again, Band by the Sand brought people together for great music, community connection and an incredible show of generosity.
A huge thank you to the organizers who put so much time and heart into making this event happen, to the Chapman Family Band for filling the day with fantastic music, and to every sponsor, volunteer and person who came out to support the event.
Thanks to your incredible support, $3,750 was raised for 𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐂𝐇 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬, with additional proceeds from the event supporting 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤.
For SIRCH, support like this creates a ripple far beyond one afternoon. It helps us continue providing programs and services that strengthen our rural community and support local people when they need it most.
To everyone who played a part, thank you for turning a great day of music into something that will keep making a difference.

A big thank you to members of the 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 who joined us at SIRCH Bistro for an information evening to learn more about our Grow Towers...how we care and maintain them, and how the fresh greens they produce help support SIRCH Food Security programs.
We’re also very grateful for your kind donations and your interest in what we’re growing here at SIRCH.
A special thank you to Mona Lam-Deslippe from 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐔𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦 for also sharing her knowledge and expertise with the group. We’re so fortunate to have people in our community who are willing to share what they know and help others learn.
When knowledge, generosity and community come together, good things grow.
