Emagine Novi

‘Tis the season for good will, good cheer, and good holiday movies. Metro Times presents Film-anthropy on Wed., Dec.02 from 6-10 p.m. at Emagine Novi for everyone living on a tight budget that would still like to spread holiday cheer. 

For the first 1,000 people to bring five canned goods, they will receive free admission into Emagine Novi to see the first run movie of their choice. The average movie ticket price now runs over $7 per person. This is an opportunity for families to give back to the community, teach their children about giving and have a night out together during the holidays. All goods collected will be donated to Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeast Michigan.

As one of the oldest food banks in the United States, Gleaners Community Food Bank turns surplus food, which otherwise would go to waste, into millions of nutritious meals for hungry people in southeastern Michigan. Since 1977, Gleaners Community Food Bank has grown from distributing just one or two million pounds of food a year to more than 28 million pounds annually, equivalent to over 404,000 meals per month.

Metro Times plans on turning film-anthropy into a biannual event in order to greater support the local community. Metro Times recommends that attendees arrive early as Film-anthropy is first-come, first-served. Metro Times also recommends donating quality canned goods that are not expired or will not expire within the upcoming months.
