Fill the Hall Food Drive & Community Open House

Description

Join us when we open our doors to the public with a Community Open House consisting of free backstage and tech tours, a free movie (Song of the Sea) at the Loft, and a challenge to fill every seat in the Historic Theater with bags of food for The Seacoast Family Food Pantry’s (SFFP) Summer Meals 4 Kids program during the second annual Fill The Hall Food Drive.

The doors of the Historic Theater will be open from 9am to 5pm on June 25 for the event. Coordinators are looking for community organizations, businesses, and residents to do food drives within their groups, workplaces, and neighborhoods to help fill all 900 seats.

WHAT FOOD IS NEEDED

All types of nonperishable foods are welcomed. Needed items include 100 percent juice boxes, peanut butter, tuna and other canned protein, granola bars, low sugar jelly, nuts (small packs), chickpeas, black beans, and low sugar cereals. Small containers of olive oil, ketchup, mayo, and mustard are also on the Summer Meals 4 Kids wish list. Household items such as toilet paper, shampoo, toothpaste, and baby food are also needed.

Donors who don’t want to park can drop bags off with volunteers who will be outside The Music Hall entrance at 28 Chestnut Street. Those who do come in will be encouraged to take a selfie on the historic stage and share their good work with their social networks.
