Ruth Eckerd Hall, HEP launch holiday food drive for Pinellas County homeless

Ruth Eckerd Hall has partnered with the Homeless Empowerment Program to launch a holiday food drive supporting homeless individuals, and families, in Pinellas County.

From now through December 31, attendees of Ruth Eckerd Hall, and the Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, can bring non-perishable food items to donation bins located in the theater lobbies. Donations are also accepted at Ruth Eckerd Hall during business hours.

Each year, HEP provides approximately 100,000 meals to those in need. Community contributions to the food drive will help stock essential items including canned fruits and vegetables, pasta and condiments, which will go directly to families in need.
