HELP OUR NEIGHBORS IMPACTED BY THE JESUSITA FIRE:
Join us for a much needed fun evening out -- and help us help our neighbors. At the performance we will be accepting donations for the Santa Barbara Foodbank and Red Cross. The Foodbank has an urgent need for the following items ONLY: small jars of peanut butter, individual size toiletries, individual size box juices; granola bars/power bars, diapers, bottled water, and canned meats such as tuna/chicken. We will collect items at the performance and deliver them to the Foodbank. We will also have a jar for cash donations that will be given to the Foodbank and Santa Barbara Red Cross. 
THANK YOU FOR HELPING US HELP OUR NEIGHBORS!
