BSO Hosts Annual Food Drive April 14-May 7, 2011 at Symphony Hall

Each year (since 2009), the Boston Symphony Orchestra hosts a food drive to benefit the Greater Boston Food Bank, and this year, the drive has been extended from one week to four weeks, with donations of canned foods accepted at all performances and rehearsals April 14-May 7. Even if you don't have tickets for a show, you can still drop off canned goods (but please no baby food or formula) at Symphony Hall between 7pm and 8pm for evening concerts and between 12:30pm and 1:30pm for afternoon concerts. Or make a cash donation online at www.bso.org/fooddrive.
