Members of the South Burnett Chorale presented the South Burnett Pantry with a cheque on Friday morning to help the charity purchase two new refrigerators.

This cheque came from the proceeds of the choral group’s Easter Concert, which was held at Kingaroy’s Lutheran Church on Sunday, March 20.

The South Burnett Pantry supply discounted food hampers from their premises at 22 Stolzenberg Road in Kingaroy every Friday morning to anyone in the region who needs assistance.

The Pantry had already secured a grant to cover most of the cost of the new refrigerators, and will now apply the Chorale’s donation towards it, too.

The South Burnett Chorale is a mixed choir open to everyone, and it meets every Tuesday night during school terms from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the Church of Christ Hall at the corner of Haly and Burnett streets in Kingaroy.

The Chorale performs regular concerts at various venues, including a series of annual Christmas charity concerts and two to three concerts each year at Taabinga Homestead.

The Chorale’s repertoire includes popular, classic and sacred styles, and profits from all the group’s concerts are donated to local charities.

The Chorale is also celebrating its 20th birthday this year, and will be holding a combined 20th Birthday Party and Cent Auction at Kingaroy’s Lutheran Church Hall on Saturday, June 18.
