Canned donations for The Food Bank will be collected at Mariners' Wharf Film Festival.

Hello.

I'm sure many of you are aware that donations to Food Bank of the Albemarle are down so in an effort to assist the agency, Mariners' Wharf Film Festival will serve as a collection point for canned food donations. A Food Bank box will be present where your items can be placed at each Tuesday night screening.

Best,
Simone
