Coolum choir sings for Urban Angels
Cool Harmonies community choir will open its rehearsal doors once again on 4 June and welcome the public to enjoy some beautiful harmonies and fabulous food while raising funds for Urban Angels, a local not-for-profit organisation.
Urban Angels creates up to 15,000 meals a month for those in need and delivers them door to door as far north as Gympie and as far south as Caboolture.
Unit Manager Birgit Sowden said Urban Angels supported people who, for various reasons, struggled to access healthy food.
“Experience tells us that what we do leads to recipients of our meals gaining a sense of belonging to our community. It’s also clear to us that filling someone’s freezer when they are in crisis is like releasing a pressure valve for them. Our gift of a meal gives people the time and headspace to move toward solutions to their problems,” she said.
“Our volunteers take the time to listen, care and connect, alongside providing a nourishing meal which is often a powerful turning point for those we support.”
Choir leader Yvonne Corstorphin said it was a joy to share songs with members of the public while helping to raise funds for Urban Angels’ running costs.
“Urban Angels do not receive any government funding for their meal delivery program and instead rely solely on private donations.”
Ms Corstorphin said long-term volunteer Gayle Hogan from Urban Angels would join Cool Harmonies for the morning to talk about the valuable work they do in the community, with choir members singing a wide range of uplifting songs from gospel to African.
“We’ll also include a sing-along for the audience to join in with, as well as inviting everyone to share in some delicious food to round out a beautiful morning, which is usually a sell-out,” she said.
