“The St. Michaels business community has really embraced our concert series with support this year,” said SMCC Executive Director Patrick Rofe. “The support goes beyond the cost of the performances and is essential in keeping our daily operations going for the people we serve.”

The free concert series is made possible through patron tips and generous local business sponsors acknowledged at each concert. Treats include snow cones, bottled water, and hand-scooped vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream provided by Justine’s Ice Cream Parlor.

​This year cash and credit card payments are being accepted for treat purchases, with all proceeds benefiting the individuals and families served by SMCC’s programs and activities.
 
The nonprofit continues to provide groceries and meals to those in need during select hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays along with youth, senior, and adult programs throughout the year.  
 
Donations to the St. Michaels Community Center’s annual fund and proceeds from its Treasure Cove Thrift Shop, located on Railroad Ave. in St. Michaels, help the nonprofit provide year-round programs, services, and community events for people in St. Michaels and from throughout Maryland’s Bay Hundred area. The nonprofit also recently announced its first-ever capital campaign supporting the adaptive redesign of its building, with more architectural renderings and more at www.stmichaelscc.org/future.
