Schools, Rochester Opera House team up to fight hunger
8:36 a.m.
ROCHESTER - Rochester Public Schools are working to support a collaborative effort aimed at ending hunger in Rochester. The Rochester Opera House is hosting its first Pack the House event, aimed at filling all 750 seats in the historic theater with funds or a bag of food to benefit four local hunger- relief organizations -- the SHARE Fund Food Pantry, Gather, Grace Community Church Food Pantry, and End 68 Hours of Hunger. All food and money collected will go to one of the four organizations. Rochester Public Schools will support the effort by asking each grade in the District to focus on gathering a specific type of food needed by the organizations. From Oct. 4 to 8, students will be asked to bring in food donations:
