Donate to Food Drive at Ravinia All Summer Long

Did you know that Ravinia Festival accepts donations of non-perishable food and toiletry items for local food depositories? You can bring your donations to the Information Booth near the main entrance of the park all summer long. We will be collecting at every concert. A small donation from each patron can lead to a big impact to the food depositories, which are in great need of supplies.
