Through the ministry, children who depend on free school breakfasts and lunches receive a Snack Backpack to take home each Friday. Each week, over 1,300 students throughout the county receive a Snack Backpack from RIFA.
This year, for the 9th annual LOLO Christmas Show and Gospel Brunch, there will be three shows in one weekend. Saturday morning, December 14th and Sunday morning, December 15th, the Gospel Brunch performances will begin serving food at 11AM and the live show will begin at 12:00PM. The Gospel Brunch performance is full of holiday spirit, praise and worship! The Brunch events also feature a raffle, silent auction and a live auction. Saturday night, December 14th, the ‘Not So Silent Night’ evening performance will be a general admission ticket with limited seating and rock n’ roll Christmas songs that will make you wanna deck the halls and dance the night away! In addition to performances by LOLO, many other artists make guest appearances. The LOLO Christmas Show events are open to people of all ages.
