Come On Rutland, Let's Pack The Paramount!

We know that we like to joke about Rutland and point out certain inconsistencies but sometimes there are serious causes that we need to get behind and highlight.

This Friday and Saturday is Pack the Paramount, an annual food drive sponsored by businesses including CVPS. Organizers have set their sights pretty high - they're hoping to get their hands on 20,000 non-perishable food items, enough to fill each seat in the Paramount Theatre.

We know everyone is doing it tough right now but if you've got 50c, that's enough to purchase tinned vegetables; just one tin can make a difference.

Three local food shelves will benefit - Rutland Community Cupboard; the Salvation Army and BROC.
