Curtain Players is asking its Dinner with Friends audiences to participate in a food drive to benefit Westerville Area Resource Ministry.

Audience members are being asked to bring five (5) non-perishable grocery items, personal care products and/or household supplies with them when they attend Dinner with Friends performances June 3-19. Those goods and cash donations will be delivered to WARM’s food bank.

WARM, a faith-based organization serving the Westerville community since 1972, is a resource center providing individuals with programs and services which foster economic, emotional and spiritual well-being. WARM's mission is neighbor helping neighbor, offering "a hand up, not a hand out" helping those in need restore dignity and hope in their lives. Contact WARM at 175 East Broadway Avenue, Westerville OH 43081, (614) 899-0196, or warmwesterville.org.

Curtain Players has collected more than 750 pounds of food and more than $230 for WARM since beginning its food drive program in 2009.
