Guthrie Theater Curbside Food Drive, December 19-21
Sunday, December 13, 2020 at 4:35AMVia a December 12 e-announcement from the Guthrie:
Since 1982, the Guthrie has partnered with The Food Group to host an annual food drive during the holiday season. Just as A Christmas Carol will live on virtually this year, we're proud to reimagine this meaningful tradition as a safe, curbside drop-off event to continue supporting Minnesotans in need.
In 2019, you helped us collect 538 pounds of food, provide 486 meals, give 14 families a three-day supply of food and support more than 250 local food banks and hunger relief organizations. The needs are even greater in 2020, so let’s come together and make an impact.
Suggested Donations:
- Vegetables (low-sodium canned veggies, pasta sauce, salsa, mushrooms)
- Dairy (powdered/shelf-stable milk, milk alternatives like rice, soy, almond)
- Fruits (canned fruit, sugar-free applesauce, dried fruit, 100% fruit juices)
- Grains (brown/wild rice, whole-grain pastas, low-sugar oatmeal, gluten-free options)
- Proteins (canned tuna/salmon/chicken, canned/dried beans, unsalted nuts, peanut butter)
- Oils and spices (olive/canola oil, onion/garlic powder, dried spices like basil, oregano, thyme)
- Household items (can openers, toilet paper, baby wipes, dish soap, hand sanitizer, face masks)
