The Agape Community Center in Milwaukee has released it’s 2010 Sing for Your Supper collection CD. Since 2007, the Agape Community Center has compiled a collection of local musicians on the Sing for Your Supper CD.

“We’re hoping to sell enough CD’s to feed more than 20,000 people through our Community Meal Program next year,” said Al Luzi, director of development for the Agape Community Center. “All the money goes to feed people here in this community. It’s a great gift not only from the artists who are providing their talent for the CD, but also for anyone who purchases the CD because the money goes towards feeding hungry people.”

We have the big band sound of the Police Department Band, strings and vocals from some of the area’s most talented orchestras and choirs and even Grant us Peace sung in Hebrew.”
