Community members will have a chance to have a good time while simultaneously contributing to a good cause this Friday.
Knox Mayor Dennis Estok informed council members of the upcoming “Bluegrass Jam” at their meeting last Tuesday. Councilwoman Bertha Blue noted that this annual event is used to collect items for the Starke County Food Pantry so at least one non-perishable food donation is required for entry.
The event will feature live music and there will also be a 50/50 raffle. Coffee and soda will be provided and event-goers are welcome to bring a covered dish to share.
The event will take place at the Nancy J. Dembowski Community Center on Friday, March 22nd from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.

Record Amount of Food Pantry Donations Collected at Local Event
Published: March 12, 2015

The Starke County Community Services food pantry received a donation from a recent community event.
The holidays usually bring in a good amount of food for underprivileged families and then donations drop off. The Bluegrass Jam event helps supply the food pantry with needed funds and items to stock the shelves. The admission fee to the concert featuring local talent is a donation for the food pantry or a monetary gift so the staff at Community Services of Starke County can purchase what is needed for families.
The event at the Nancy J. Dembowski Community Center in Knox on Saturday collected 998 pounds of food and $440 was raised.
Knox Mayor Rick Chambers told the city council members this week that since the program started six years ago, this is a record high for collections in a single event. In all of those years, 6,529 pounds of food and $2,586 has been collected.
