This year, the Silver Spring Cello Choir's annual winter concert will be a benefit for Tommy’s Pantry, housed here and named for Tommy Raskin. Tommy grew into an extraordinary example of kindness, grace, generosity, and humility. His spirit will carry on in many ways, including in this work where neighbors look out for one another. His belief in ensuring human dignity remains the cornerstone of our organization. In 2022, through the generosity of its donors, volunteers and through the support of the Church of the Ascension, Tommy’s Pantry was able to distribute 300 shelf-stable food boxes once per month, 300 wellness boxes (hygiene items and cleaning products) once per month, and 160 fresh produce boxes 2-3 times per month, servicing more than 300 local families experiencing hardship. Tommy’s Pantry is 100% volunteer run.  On average each month, approximately 120 volunteers per month to unload trucks, pack and distribute boxes.  Approximately 70% of the contributions received are from individual small donors. We are happy to designate Tommy's Pantry as the beneficiary of the proceeds from this concert.
