Children can help families with food insecurity in our local communities and get into The Magic House or The Magic House @ MADE for free during the annual Kids Can Help food drive. Children under the age of 12 who bring in three canned goods per person will be admitted to The Magic House free of charge on November 2 and 3.
The collected food will be donated to the St. Louis Area Foodbank to help families in need. Last year, The Magic House donated nearly 3,000 pounds of food, providing 2,448 meals for needy people in the St. Louis area. Helping others can be a magical experience!
Kids Can Help will be held on Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 3 during regular hours (see web site to verify weekend hours, usually 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sundays).
