FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the price of admission? The price of admission is a donation of at least one shelf-stable food item per adult and per child, please. You are welcome to bring more than one item per person! This is a great family event and an opportunity to teach young children and adults about philanthropy.

How are you able to offer this movie for free? The support of our wonderful sponsors allows us to offer this movie for free. The Florida Theatre is absorbing the administrative overhead as a community service.

Where will the food go? The food will be received by Feeding Northeast Florida, our community’s food bank, and a partner of Feeding America.

What food should I bring? Shelf-stable foods are best for most people, from children to homeless persons with no way to prepare meals, to working families who need to prepare quick, but nourishing meals. Here are some suggestions:

- Canned vegetables
- Canned fruit
- Peanut butter in plastic jars.
- Canned meats like tuna and chicken.
- Pop-top cans of ravioli and spaghetti
- Canned soup
- Boxed items like macaroni and cheese, pasta, and instant potatoes.
