Local Food and Wine Store Hosting Drive for Northcenter’s Common Pantry
From now until Aug. 31, residents can drop off nonperishables to Provenance Food and Wine for Common Pantry.
Provenance Food and Wine is flipping the switch—asking its customers for food instead of selling artisanal cheese and craft spirits.
Shop owner Tracy Kellner is hosting a food and personal item drop-off for Common Pantry from now until Aug. 31. The drive runs in conjunction with the 6th anniversary of Provenance’s location in Lincoln Square.
Every donation will earn customers a chance to win $50 from the store. The more someone donates, the more times they’ll be entered into the raffle.
