The Dallas Theater Center and the North Texas Food Bank are joining forces to give back to the community this holiday season. During the run of “A Christmas Carol,” DTC audiences can donate nonperishable food items or contribute monetary donations to help North Texans experiencing food insecurity.
The production will run from Nov. 28 through Dec. 27 at Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre. Food donations can be left in the lobby and monetary gifts can be contributed after each performance. Every dollar collected will help provide three meals for people in need, according to a news release.
“Too many of our neighbors struggle to put food on the table, even during the holidays,” said Sarah Burns, vice president of external affairs for the North Texas Food Bank. “Thanks to DTC and its audiences, we can help ensure families across North Texas can enjoy this season with full hearts and full plates.”
Since their partnership with the North Texas Food Bank began in 2007, DTC has raised more than $966,000 and provided more than 2.9 million meals for families across North Texas.
