Did you know 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.

Ravinia attendees who bring in donations will receive a raffle ticket (one per patron donating) for the chance to win lawn passes, tickets to upcoming performances or items from Ravinia Gifts. Each week one winner will be drawn and notified.

A small donation from each patron can lead to a big impact on the food depositories, which are in great need of supplies.
