Lowell – Lowell Memorial Auditorium is partnering with Merrimack Valley Food Bank to host a food drive supporting individuals and families experiencing food insecurity throughout the Merrimack Valley.
Guests are encouraged to support the food drive by donating non-perishable food items to help nourish neighbors in need. Donations can be dropped off in the red donation bin located in the Hall of Flags at Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Monday through Friday during box office hours of 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, or while attending one of Lowell Memorial Auditorium’s shows, listed below.
Merrimack Valley Food Bank is a community-supported nonprofit organization that provides nutritious food and personal care items to emergency feeding programs serving individuals and families facing hunger. As one of four food banks in Massachusetts, the organization works with food pantries, shelters, and meal programs to help ensure community members have access to essential food resources.
The most-needed items include peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, cereal and oatmeal, pasta and rice, canned fruits and vegetables, soups and stews, canned tuna and chicken, beans, tomato sauce, healthy snacks, juice boxes, and shelf-stable milk. Supermarket gift cards are also welcome.
All donated items must be shelf-stable and packaged in cans or plastic containers. Glass packaging and homemade canned foods cannot be accepted. Please check that all items are unopened and within their expiration or best-by dates.
Through this partnership, Lowell Memorial Auditorium is proud to support Merrimack Valley Food Bank’s mission to help meet the essential need for adequate nutrition and work toward a community where everyone has access to food.
