Two plays I've been in this past month have, through ticket deals like $5 entry w/ two canned goods(instead of $10 regular price), have produced 6 truckloads(Toyota Tacoma, literally) of canned goods and non-perishable food items for the community over a 5 day period.
It was an excellent turnout for the plays, and an even bigger non-profit movement than we had expected.
I'm thinking of working a food kitchen if I have the time over Christmas. I just started a new job, and that may hinder that.
