David Shenton and Erin Shields are touring musicians. They have lost the chance of performances in the world last year because of the COVID-19. But one day, when the couple saw food pantry（食品贮藏室）lines around their block, they decided they needed to help.
"When your own industry shuts down, you think, 'well, how are we going to do this?' Seeing the people in line ..., you go, 'I can be that person and that could be my family member'," Shields said. "I thought, I'm not a doctor ... I don't really have much to offer. But then I thought, well, you know, we can perform."
So Shields and Shenton started holding online concerts to raise money for the food pantry at Mosaic West Queens Church. Their good friends in Broadway also joined the good cause. "We have all these connections to Broadway singers outside of their work on Broadway, so we wanted to make good use of that," Shenton said.
Among the performers were Broadway musicians known for their work in everything from "Hamilton" and "The Little Mermaid" to "Tootsie" and "Les Misérables.""It's just something my mom always said, 'If you're feeling low, volunteer, give back to other people, because it will make you feel better'," Shields said. "And it's so true."
