The Lutcher Theater is hosting a pajama and blanket drive to support the Salvation Army of Orange during productions of STOMP on Friday and Saturday.

The Lutcher invites the public to help STOMP Out Hunger by donating non-perishable food items.

Donations can be dropped off Monday through Friday at Dow Business Center, any of the seven First Financial Bank locations, Free State Cellars or the Lutcher Theater during the performances of STOMP.

In support of the pajama and blanket drive, Shangri La Botanical Gardens & Nature Center is collecting new pajamas and blankets during Family Holiday PJ Week of Christmas Strolls from Tuesday through Saturday.

In addition, Shangri La Gardens is hosting a community food drive throughout the Christmas Strolls Tuesday through Dec. 22.

Food donations benefit Orange Christian Services.

The W.H. Stark House is hosting a food drive to support the Salvation Army of Orange. Donations can be dropped off during their Stark Family Christmas Guided Holiday Tours on select dates during December.

“The Stark Foundation invites the community to participate in these efforts by contributing to the food drives and pajama collections at the designated venues. By uniting in compassion and generosity, together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors and spread the joy of the season,” said Clyde “Tad” McKee, president and chief executive officer of the Stark Foundation.
