Keswick Theatre Holding Food Drive For Philabundance Starting Thursday

The Keswick Theater, 291 N. Keswick Ave., Glenside, Pa., is holding a food drive for Philabundance in conjunction with their production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” starting April 14. The event will last until the following Sunday, April 23.

Neighbors who want to donate can drop off non-perishable and non-glass goods during the show or in the lobby during regular business hours.

Last winter, Keswick Theatre provided 1200 meals to neighbors in need during food drives that ran in November and December. Keswick Theater is accepting canned foods like tuna, beef stew, chili, pasta, beef ravioli, peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, canned fruit cocktail, green beans, corn, and breakfast or hot cereal in plastic containers or boxes.

“We want to thank Keswick Theater for holding another food drive for Philabundance,” said Marianne Lynch, director of development for Philabundance. “Philabundance has seen a decrease in food donations and an increase in need which is why Keswick Theater’s food drive comes at an integral time.”
