THE SEASON FOR GIVING

In the spirit of giving, Metro is teaming up with the Chicago Independent Radio Project (CHIRP), for a holiday food drive benefiting the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Members of CHIRP will be on hand during all of our Home For The Holidays shows to collect food donations and share information about their quest for a new community radio station in Chicago. Canned food donations are encouraged for all the shows, but anyone who brings canned food to the show at Metro on December 22 will get $3 off the ticket price. Patrons are especially encouraged to bring those items most in need - The Greater Chicago Food Depository is most in need of canned chicken and tuna, canned corn beef, canned fruit, canned vegetables, dried or canned beans, fruit juice, jelly, macaroni and cheese, pasta, peanut butter, rice, and whole grain cereal.
