The 9th Annual Don Sproles Memorial Wine & Shine, a benefit for the Volunteer Ministry Center (VMC), will feature wine and Sugarlands Distilling moonshine tastings, gourmet food, live music, and silent and live auctions. Longtime News Sentinel columnist and humorist Sam Venable will serve as the emcee. Attendees must be age 21 or older.

VMC’s programs support its two-fold mission of facilitating permanent supportive housing for those who are homeless and providing services to prevent homelessness. VMC operates four main programs: The VMC Resource Center, The Bush Family Refuge, Minvilla Manor and The VMC Dental Clinic.
