Wayne Theatre hosting Salvation Army benefit concert

The Salvation Army Waynesboro welcomes the community to the fifth annual “Need Knows No Season” concert event on Tuesday, May 10, at 7 p.m. at The Wayne Theatre.

Reserved seating is available online, and guests “pay what you will.”

“We appreciate the support from our friends, neighbors, and the business community of Waynesboro, especially around the Christmas holiday, but we have a real need to assist individuals and families throughout the year,” said Nancy Whitlock, committee chair.  “Need Knows No Season has been our theme for the concert each year, but is especially true considering the impact of COVID-19 on families in Waynesboro and East Augusta County over the past two years. People are hurting, and they need a helping hand 365 days a year.”

Appearing at the event for the fifth year in a row is Waynesboro musician Jimmy Overton. Other local musicians will also perform. In recognition of National Salvation Army Week, a Red Kettle will be passed during the event.

“Through donations, sponsorships, and money collected at the concert, The Salvation Army will be able to provide life-saving services to hungry, homeless and hopeless families and individuals without discrimination in Waynesboro,” said Lt. Rachel Pruitt with The Salvation Army.

Sponsorship opportunities are now available. RSVPs are being handled by Kim Wentz, [email protected] or 540-943-7591, ext. 101. Visit waynetheatre.org for tickets.
