Daughters of Zelophehad presents the Spelman College Glee Club Fundraising Concert
Daughters of Zelophehad proudly presents the Spelman College Glee Club Fundraising Concert on Saturday, March 16th at Forest Hill Presbyterian Church, 4401 Forest Hill Avenue, Richmond, VA at 6 p.m.
Daughters of Zelophehad (DOZ) promises a home, a faith and a future to homeless women and children. The mission of DOZ is to provide a holistic Rapid-Rehousing program for homeless women in crisis and their children so that they can function as an integral part of the community.
Come for a night of mesmerizing and powerful choral music from the world-renowned Spelman College Glee Club, who sing in support of the first class of formerly homeless women and their children who are moving into independence with skills and internal resources gained from Daughters of Zelophehad's programming, and with a lease in their own names.
This concerts marks an important day in the continued eradication of homelessness for families in Richmond, Virginia!
