“These local singers and musicians make the holidays more pleasant while also helping many families,” said Becky Skaggs, spokesperson for Top Food & Drug stores.

Sing from the Heart will be presented at each Top Food store from 2-7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, noon-6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10 and noon-5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11. Groups must register in advance for a time at the guest services counter of a Top Food store or by calling their local store.
