Come to the Shubert — to help get food to the hungry.

Members of the Board of Alders plan to station themselves at the theater to welcome patrons at events through Jan. 1 as part of a third annual Community Food Drive to benefit food pantries throughout New Haven. They’re asking the public to bring food donations to the theater (at 247 College St.) or to one of three other drop-off spot: the Aldermanic Chambers at City Hall, Crest Jaguar, or the Whitney Center.

Since our food drive efforts began two years ago we have collected thousands of pounds of food along with over $20,000 in monetary donations including two generous donations from Wells Fargo,” Morris Cove Alder Sal DeCola, a drive organizer, stated in a release. All donations are distributed to food pantries throughout New Haven designated by members of Board of Alders.”
