Food Donations Earn Free Admission to Arts, Beats & Eats

FirstMerit Bank is hosting a canned food drive that will get you a coupon for the Labor Day weekend festival.

Make a canned good donation to any participating FirstMerit Bank location by Friday and get free admission into Arts, Beats & Eats, the Labor Day weekend festival in downtown Royal Oak.

FirstMerit Bank is partnering with Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan in an effort to raise awareness of the hunger relief initiative. Thousands of pounds of food for those in need in the region are expected to be generated from the campaign, which is in its fourth year of partnership with the festival, according to the Arts, Beats & Eats website.

Every three cans of food donated earns a free admission coupon.
