MONMOUTH – The Theater at Monmouth will donate $7 per ticket sold from its July 23 performance of John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” to the Rural Community Action Ministry.

RCAM is a nonprofit organization that provides safe, adequate shelter, food, clothing and basic well-being services to people in Monmouth, Leeds, Wayne, Greene, Turner, Wales, Sabattus, Hartford, Canton, Sumner, Buckfield, Livermore and Litchfield.

The agency focuses on issues of homelessness and hunger prevention, housing upkeep and repair, emergency shelter and care of the elderly and disabled.

RCAM is funded through grants from the United Way, private foundations, local businesses and donations from individuals. Much of its work is performed by volunteers, both local and from around the country. Each summer, work groups, often church mission groups, come at their own expense to repair homes for low-income, elderly and disabled residents of these 13 rural towns.

This performance of “The Grapes of Wrath” will be at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 23. Tickets are $25 and can be reserved by calling the Theater at Monmouth box office at 933-9999 and specifically requesting seats for the RCAM fund-raiser.
