Kilo Wattson writesMetro and CHIRP Radio Host December Food Drive

This December, Metro partners with CHIRPradio.org for the annual Metro/Smart Bar Food Drive benefitting the Greater Chicago Food Depository!

From December 1 – 31, Metro patrons, neighbors and community members are invited to drop off canned goods to the Metro Store at 3730 N. Clark Street. The Metro Store is open Monday 12-6pm, Tuesday through Saturday 12-8pm, and closed Sunday. In addition, the Metro Store remains open during any show at Metro, so patrons coming to shows in December are especially urged to bring a donation (you do not need to be attending a show to donate).

The Greater Chicago Food Depository says the most needed items are peanut butter, beans, canned fruit, canned vegetables, cereal, chili, tuna and pasta. Through the years, Metro has collected thousands of pounds of food to help feed hungry Chicagoans, and this year the need is higher than ever, so come by and help Metro and CHIRP stock the shelves of the Greater Chicago Food Depository this holiday season!
