GALESBURG — This year's COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of Choral Dynamics' performances for the first time since the group began in 1976. However, while their voices on stage have been silenced, they remain committed to helping a community with increased needs due to this virus. With the support and encouragement of the Galesburg Community Foundation, Choral Dynamics has begun a new campaign: The Heart Song Projects.
The first Heart Song Project is still ongoing, a Facebook fundraiser to benefit the Orpheum Theatre. It is on the Choral Dynamics Facebook page showing “Encore Performances” using videos of favorite songs from past shows. This project has already raised over $7,000.
Choral Dynamics is now in the midst of its second Heart Song Project: a diaper drive for Loving Bottoms Diaper Bank, with drop-off locations around the community. Choral Dynamics is collecting diapers, wipes, feminine hygiene products and adult incontinence products. The need for these items has increased dramatically since the start of the pandemic.
Drop-off locations include the following:
• Edward Jones Lobby, 76 S. Prairie St., Galesburg
• 210 Blaine Ave., Galesburg
• 893 N. Prairie St., Galesburg (in foyer)
• 102 N. McKinley Court, Abingdon
• 505 N. Depot St., Altona
• 213 S. Westview Drive, Knoxville
• 605 S. 11th St., Monmouth
Additionally, a diaper drive-thru drop-off will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, at the First United Methodist Church in Galesburg, with Santa and Olaf to welcome donors. All drop-off locations are no contact.
Watch for more Choral Dynamics Heart Song Projects. For more information, visit www.choraldynamics.org or find the Choral Dynamics Facebook page. Choral Dynamics Heart Song Project yard signs will be placed throughout the surrounding areas soon, to let the community know that a Heart Song Project is happening.
