Thank you for giving back to Lemont!

Last month, our friends at the Hope & Friendship Foundation hosted the 14th Annual Giving Back to Lemont Concert. During this special event, we received 400 lb in donations and raised $1,515.20 in total, all of which will go directly to our Open Pantry at Bethany Lutheran Church to continue our mission of supporting Lemont families!

Thank you so much to everyone who donated to our Open Pantry and to everyone in attendance for supporting us during the concert, and a huge thank you to the Hope & Friendship Foundation for hosting such a wonderful event!
