FOOD DRIVE

CYSO is pitching in to help:


Bring your donations to the concert on
Sunday, February 21. The orchestra that brings
the most donations per musician
wins a pizza party!

Ask your friends and family to help too
by bringing food to the concert
and placing it in your orchestra’s collection barrel!

Food Bank of the Rockies gladly accepts all non-perishable food.
Here are some examples of items that make great donations:
Tuna, ham, beef stew, chili, baked beans, soup, fruit, vegetables,
peanut butter, jelly and pasta.

Non-glass containers are preferred.
