This Friday, get some free Ringling Brothers circus tickets with only a food donation.

From 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., at the Forum box office, anyone bringing 10 non-perishable food items will get a free ticket to the upcoming show. There is a limit of four tickets per family.  Tickets are for the best seats available at any of the eight Tampa performances January 7-11, 2009 at the St. Pete Times Forum.

Food will benefit Metropolitan Ministries.  Their most needed items are boxed cereal, stuffing and canned fruit. Metropolitan Ministries is a non-profit, nondenominational organization in Tampa that provides food and services for poor and homeless families.  They serve more than 150 families a day, and right now their need for food donations is great.
