City of Fort Thomas presents ‘Share What You CAN’ to benefit Brighton Center’s Food Pantry


The City of Fort Thomas will hold a free concert to benefit Brighton Center’s food pantry. Share What You CAN, sponsored by Crawford Insurance and United Bank will take place Tuesday June 19 at Tower Park Amphitheater in Fort Thomas from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Katie Walters of Q102 will emcee the concert.

Attendees are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items to benefit the over 2,800 families who accessed Emergency Assistance through Brighton Center last year alone.

The Concert will feature the Naked Karate Girls. A kids meet and greet will take place at 6pm where each child will get an autograph and photo with the band.

Food trucks and drinks will be available for purchase from:

Enjoy food and drinks from:
– PretzelFuls, LLC
– Yum Dogz
– Melissa’s Soup Kitchen
– Live Happy
– StoneBrook Winery
– Braxton Brewing Company

This fundraiser comes at a critical time for families. The summer months create increased demand as children are at home and parents with already tight budgets are providing meals their children would normally receive at school.

Any non-perishable item is always appreciated, but the following are items we currently need the most: Tuna, spaghetti sauce, cereal, can fruit (peaches, fruit cocktail), and beans (black, kidney, and pinto).
Non-perishable items can also be dropped off in advance of the concert at any United Bank NKY location or at Crawford Insurance.

Cash and check donations will also be accepted.

Brighton Center’s Mission is to create opportunities for individuals and families to reach self-sufficiency through family support services, education, employment, and leadership.

Last fiscal year it impacted the lives of 44,094 individuals from infants to senior citizens through 39 distinct programs from all eight counties of Northern Kentucky and beyond.

From modest beginnings in 1966, it has grown to provide a wide range of programs and services and neighborhood based programs.
