Feeding Our Neighbors
This year, the NHSO’s community partners are asking for your help to feed the hungry this holiday season.
Food Drive to Benefit SCSU Student Food Pantry
Please bring a donation to this concert!
SCSU’s Food Pantry plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity among students. Many students face financial challenges that hinder their ability to afford nutritious meals regularly. The SCSU Food Pantry provides a lifeline to these individuals, ensuring they have access to wholesome food and can focus on their studies without the burden of hunger. Questions? Email Engagement@NewHavenSymphony.org.
Eat, Drink & Donate to the Community Soup Kitchen
The concessions at this performance will be sold by New Haven’s Community Soup Kitchen, a longtime partner of the NHSO. The Community Soup Kitchen has served over 2 million meals since beginning operations in 1977, and in 2023 alone they provided 70,000 meals to their guests. Please stop by the concessions table before the concert or at intermission for cookies and a warm drink, perfect for this festive time of the year! You can learn more about the Community Soup Kitchen and donate to their work at CSKNewhaven.org.
