Description

We have a vision! We want to pack every single seat in the theater with a box or bag of food to help feed hungry kids. We need your help. Will you accept this invite & stop by the theater from 9 am – 5 pm on Saturday, August 1 at The Music Hall in downtown Portsmouth and bring nonperishable food items or a monetary donation? 

Fill the Hall is a collaboration between Seacoast Family Food Pantry and The Music Hall to benefit Summer Meals 4 Kids.

Many kids who rely on school meals struggle to get enough to eat during the summer months. Everything collected will be distributed by Seacoast Family Food Pantry.

Organizers of the event are seeking volunteers, community organizations and businesses to gather food donations in the area and have them delivered to The Music Hall. Groups or neighborhoods are encouraged to donate en masse.

All types of nonperishable foods are welcomed and accepted, but some of the more needed ones include 100 percent juice juice boxes, peanut butter, tuna and other canned protein, granola bars, low sugar jelly, pasta, sauces and low sugar cereals. Small containers of olive oil, ketchup, mayo and mustard are also on the Summer Meals 4 Kids wish list.

Other items are also needed, such as toilet paper, shampoo and baby food.

If you don't want to park, volunteers will be outside The Music Hall to pick up your donations. If you do come in, we'll encourage you to take a selfie on the historic stage and share your good work with your social network.

Did we mention there are about 900 seats?

Be a part of this is new event and help your neighbors. If you can't come yourself, accept the invite and have a friend bring your bag. Power on! The need is high.
