Area Relief Ministries Salt & Light Benefit Dinner will be held Sunday, September 11, 2022, at the Carl Perkins Civic Center. This year’s dinner will feature the Jackson Symphony and include a special performance by Kellye Cash Miss America 1987 and gospel artist Vonda Peete. Dinner will be at 5 p.m., and the concert begins at 6 p.m.
The patriotic theme of the evening is Salute to the Big Apple and will benefit Area Relief Ministries-Room in the Inn. The program partners with local churches and businesses to provide housing and meals each night to the homeless in Jackson, Tennessee. ARM seeks to help the homeless make life changes with job training, job placement, and permanent housing. It also provides emergency services for low-income members of the community. This year marks ARM’s 45th year of serving the community.
ARM Executive Director Mike Roby expressed his gratitude to supporters who attend the Salt & Light Banquet annually and who find more businesses and churches to partner with ARM’s Room in the Inn program.
“We are extremely excited to bring this program to the community this year,” Roby said. “Peter Shannon and the Jackson Symphony will perform songs from the Big Apple, some gospel and patriotic songs in memory of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in our nation. We hope that the songs inspire, unite and encourage.”
