FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is the price of admission? The price of admission is a donation of food. At least one item per adult and per child, please. More is welcome. 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? We are able to offer this movie for free because of the support of our wonderful sponsors. First A.C.T., the Florida Theatre’s young professional networking group, is volunteering their time to coordinate the event, and 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 the most people, from children over a weekend, 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: corn, green beans.
Canned fruit: peaches, pears, mixed fruit.
Peanut butter in plastic jars.
Canned meats like tuna and chicken.
Macaroni and cheese.
Pop top cans of ravioli and spaghetti
Canned soup.
Boxed items like macaroni and cheese, pasta, and instant potatoes.
