Mind Reader Performs To Benefit Connecticut Food Bank

Jan. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Thought-Reader to Benefit Connecticut Food Bank

    West Haven, CT based Hypnotist and Thought Reader Keith Zalinger will be bringing his own brand of ESP and Paranormal Entertainment to Branford Elks Lodge 1939 (located at 158 South Montowese St., Branford, CT 06516) on Saturday January 22nd, 2011 from 7:45 PM – 10:00 PM. During 2010, Mr. Zalinger and host Jeff Tillbrook gave several sold-out shows and a fall performance at Yale University to stunned audiences.  

    One dollar from each paid admission will be donated to the Connecticut Food Bank. Advance tickets for this event are only $15.00, and admission at the door will be only $20.00. In the event of 50 or more paid admissions, two dollars per ticket will be donated. In the event of a sold-out crowd, Mr. Zalinger has pledged three dollars per ticket.
    Connecticut Food Bank, a private, nonprofit organization, works with corporations, community organizations, and individuals to solicit, transport, warehouse and distribute donated food. By soliciting the food industry for products that will not sell –– items that are wholesome but might have some cosmetic flaw –– Connecticut Food Bank reduces waste and feeds people. A dedicated staff of more than 40 ensures that Connecticut Food Bank continues to fulfill the mission of alleviating hunger.
According to Connecticut Food Bank data:
•   On average, Connecticut Food Bank distributes 119,653 grocery carts of food per year – so many carts that if you lined them up, they would reach from the Food Bank's main warehouse in East Haven to Norwalk and back.
•   Every business day, Connecticut Food Bank distributes about 30 tons of food.
•   What can you do? Every little bit helps. Five cans of food, $5 or five hours of your time can make a difference in the life of someone who doesn’t have enough to eat every day.
•   Every $5 donated to Connecticut Food Bank helps us provide 18 meals to a family, a child, or senior in need.
•   Even in a state as wealthy as Connecticut, there is a huge need for food assistance, especially in cities like Bridgeport and New Haven. Sometimes the difference between a family who uses a food program and one that doesn’t is the sudden loss of a job, an illness, or unexpected rise in health or utilities bills.
•   Prior to the recession a survey of food pantry and soup kitchen clients in Connecticut revealed that:
•   42% had to choose between food or utilities
•   34% had to choose between food or rent
•   30% had to choose between food or medical care
