Concert-Goers in for a Treat

Supporters of FESCO, the local shelter for homeless families, will have a treat this Sunday when the Concert in the Park Series in Hayward benefits FESCO.  Music lovers can get in a free afternoon of live band music from 1 to 5 pm on Sunday, September 18th at Memorial Park behind the Hayward Plunge.   The featured bands are the Giant Garage Spiders and the Sycamore 129 Blues Band.  This is the 12th year that HARD and the Hayward Odd Fellows Sycamore Lodge 129 have collaborated on this popular music series.  Subaru of Hayward is sponsoring the refreshments, so all food purchases and donations will go to support the homeless families FESCO serves.

FESCO (Family Emergency Shelter Coalition) is a Hayward non-profit that has been assisting homeless families with children for more than 35 years.  FESCO provides shelter, case management and a variety of resources to support client families working to attain or regain their self-sufficiency.  FESCO is grateful for the spotlight that this concert shines on the needs of homeless families and FESCO’s program to meet those needs.

It’s suggested that people bring a lawn chair or blanket for lawn seating.  No alcohol is allowed in the park, but water and soft drinks will be available.  There’s free parking, and a nearby playground and creek hiking trail provide other diversions.
