New Freedom Theatre’s "Cans, Coats, And Culture" Food Drive

The New Freedom Theatre’s Performing Arts Training Program will launch “Cans, Coats, and Culture, an innovative program designed to help feed, clothe, and culturally stimulate needy families in the Philadelphia area. The entire student body, from preschool through young adults as well as parents and patrons have been enlisted to join in this unique spirit of giving. The aim is to have everyone donate canned goods and new or slightly used coats. This collaborative effort will be done in partnership with Philabundance and The Salvation Army.”
