March is Orchestras Feeding America Month |
|
|
|
 This March the Mobile Symphony joins with
hundreds of other orchestras across the country to help alleviate hunger
in our region. We will be partnering with Bay Area Foodbank to collect
750 lbs of food.
Did you know in 2008 in the United States, 32.4 million adults and 16.7
million children lived in food insecure households, and that number has
grown with the recession? Help us help our neighbors.
The MSO will have collection boxes at Larkins Music Center all month,
and at the Cirque de la Symphonie concerts on March 20 and 21. Bring in
at least two cans of food when
you purchase a ticket for Cirque or when you attend the concert and get
a 15% off coupon on a single ticket for our remaining two concerts of
the season (subject to availability).
We look forward to a successful drive!
Here is a list of our most needed items:
Dry Soup, Powdered / Canned Milk, Macaroni & Cheese, Cereal, Peanut Butter, Beans, Canned Fruit and Vegetables, Tuna, Canned Meats, Stew, Soup, Pasta, Fruit Juices / Sip-sized Juices
