Beatles Tribute Concert, Food Drive This Weekend in Wildwood

Valley Park-based charity Circle of Concern is stepping up efforts to help ensure that the area’s neediest children don’t go hungry throughout the summer months and Wildwood residents are being asked to help.

The organization will be collecting items to help fill its “Kids Bags” during the Brit Beat concert at Wildwood’s Town Center this Friday and is asking concert goers to bring supplies of peanut butter and jelly in addition to a lawn chair and blanket.

The family friendly show from the Beatles tribute band is scheduled to start at 6:45 p.m. with complimentary kettle corn, shaved ice, water and soft drinks provided by the city of Wildwood, who is sponsoring the event as part of its summer concert series.  

According to Circle of Concern, many of its clients children are threatened by hungry during the summer because they are no longer receiving free or reduced-price meals through their schools. Other non-perishable and non-expired food items will also be accepted during the collection Friday.

If you are unable to make it the concert, bring your donation to Wildwood City Hall June 21 by 5 p.m.
