The Sing Out for Shelter ("SOS") concert, organized by DC’s own Augmented 8, has brought together the best of contemporary a cappella singing and raised more than $400,000 to help the homeless in the DC area. Proceeds from this event will go to Friendship Place, Christ House, and the National United Methodist Church Food Ministry, local providers of housing and aid services for people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity in the Washington DC region.
