FROM ORLANDO--

Donate food items, get circus tickets to ‘Fully Charged’
by matt palm on November, 16 2010
You could get free tickets to the circus on Thursday morning —
all it takes is a show of generosity to those less fortunate as the holiday season begins. Perhaps it could be a lesson in giving for the little ones who will later enjoy the circus.
Here are the details on the Ringling Bros./Barnum & Bailey food drive:
As Thanksgiving and the holiday season approach, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey is again collecting food to help stock Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida (SHFBCF)’s pantry shelves. During this difficult economy and as the holidays approach, the agency’s need for food donations is increasing.
For one day only, this Thursday, Nov. 18, between 7 and 9 a.m., Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey is offering Central Florida consumers the opportunity to energize their community and donate nonperishable, unexpired food items in exchange for ticket vouchers to Fully Charged, the all-new 141st edition of “The Greatest Show On Earth.”
Last year’s food drive generated elephant-sized results. In only two hours, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® collected 5,901 pounds (nearly three tons) of food — equating to approximately 4,000 meals to feed the needy in Central Florida. Hundreds of Central Floridians participated — from dads in gym shorts to moms in PJs to young professionals on their way to work.
