Happy Holidays!

Over the past 6 years, the State College Choral Society and its audiences have contributed more than two tons of food items to and raised over $8,000 for local food banks during our holiday concerts. Out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our singers and audience, we are unable to host a live concert again this year, however the need for your donations is even greater! The Choral Society is thrilled to partner with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank to host a Virtual Holiday Food Drive - open to all our members, friends, and families. We'll be donating dollars instead of dinners so the Food Bank can purchase the items most needed in the communities it serves. 

The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, the largest charitable food distribution organization in central Pennsylvania, feeds people in 27 counties, including Centre County. Since the start of the pandemic, the Food Bank has been gathering every possible resource to provide food and supplies to all who need it, but they continue to face a sharp increase in demand. More kids, parents, and seniors in our community are going hungry as a result of this ongoing crisis. Those who were already struggling face even greater challenges — not only to be fed, but to stay healthy. Nourishing food is the most basic need for our vulnerable neighbors. Your gift at this time is urgently needed and will help them:
