Kellie Pickler headlined a Country Crossing-sponsored concert recently at the Dothan Civic Center in Alabama that benefited the Wiregrass Area United Way Food Bank. Matt Kennon and Houston County, who hail from the Dothan area, also performed. The majority of the tickets for the concert were distributed through the Wiregrass Area United Way Food Bank, raising $16,366 and 8,825 pounds of food to be distributed to the Wiregrass area this holiday season. These donations translate to 92,134 meals that will be made available to those in need. The Wiregrass Area United Way Food Bank is a non-profit, hunger relief charity that collects surplus food and distributes to agencies in a five-county service area that includes Houston, Henry, Dale, Geneva and Coffee counties, as well as parts of northwest Florida and southwest Georgia.
