2024 Festival Food Drive Donates Over 2,000 Pounds of Food to the Iron County Care and Share

Fall Food Drive 2024

This fall, Utah Shakespeare Festival guests contributed to a worthwhile cause to make life a little better for those in need by donating a literal ton of food to the Iron County Care and Share. The food donations were part of the Festival’s 20th annual Fall Food Drive from September 10 to October 5. Residents of southern Utah and eastern Nevada were able to donate six items of nonperishable food and receive a half-price ticket to a Festival production.

In total over 2,000 pounds of food was donated to help members of our community. Residents of Iron, Washington, Kane, Garfield, Piute, and Beaver counties in Utah and Lincoln County in Nevada were encouraged to take part in the drive.

“We are so grateful to our guests for supporting this effort,” said Michael Bahr, executive managing director. “Our annual Fall Food Drive began in 2003, and over the years our guests have consistently given so freely to assist the Iron County Care and Share in their important and generous work in our community.”

The Iron County Care and Share was founded in 1984 by a group of local churches of different denominations to address the issue of hunger in our community. Working with partners in the community, neighboring counties, and in the state, the Iron County Care and Share is able to help homeless and low-income individuals and families work toward self-sufficiency. The Iron County Care and Share is located at 900 North 222 West in Cedar City, Utah. Monetary donations are always accepted. Click here to donate to the organization.
