Our friends from Cleveland Food Bank will be collecting food items in the lobby on Friday, November 22nd. Bring 2 cans of vegetables and receive $4.00 off the regular admission price and feel good about helping others in need in our own community.
Cleveland Christmas Connection falls within the Food Bank’s Hunger Free Holidays campaign window, which coincides with the traditional season of giving and reminds people to share a little extra with those who need it most. At the holidays, seasonal canned foods are appreciated by our 1000+ partner agencies across six Northeast Ohio counties that serve more than 400,000 people annually. Also, monetary donations are always appreciated because $1 donated = 3 meals our neighbors in need. greaterclevelandfoodbank.org
