AIO’s 2026 FILL THE STRAND

Food in every seat. Help for every family.

AIO Food and Energy Assistance will host its sixth Fill The Strand food and funds drive to benefit AIO’s Food Assistance, Energy Assistance, Weekend Meal, and Diaper Assistance Programs. This event challenges the community to fill every seat in the historic theater with bags of food and funds for AIO’s programs. AIO has raised over $165,000 in the first five Fill the Strand events. The goal for the sixth event is to raise $40,000. The snow date is Monday, January 26.

Monetary donations are welcome…and in fact your dollar goes further since AIO can purchase food through partners at a competitive price. Individuals can fill one theater seat with a bag of food or sponsor a seat at $35. Your $35 monetary donation can buy up to $85 worth of food.
