'A Christmas Carol: The Gift' Keeps on Giving Throughout The Season
Four tons of food and more than 1,500 toys were collected for local charities.
Although the uplifting singing and festive dancing of Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU) Theatre’s production of “A Christmas Carol: The Gift” have ended, the gift keeps on giving to people in need throughout the Bay Area.
The production, which asks for donations of toys and food from the audience, collected four tons of food and 1650 toys. These were distributed to Second Harvest Food Bank, Belmont Fire Department’s Toys for Tots, AIDS Community Research Consortium, St. Anthony’s Padua Dining Room and Samaritan House.

The show ran this year December 9-18. The gift of the musical is two-fold; performances are presented free to the community, and attendees are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item or new toy for families in need.
