Schaumburg Medieval Times launches food drive

Medieval Times in Schaumburg announced Monday the return of their annual Fill the Pantry initiative to refill local food pantry stockpiles that historically run low this time of year.

The food drive, set to run through Feb. 5, offers donors of any three nonperishable food items a 40 percent discount on adult tickets and 25 percent off tickets for children 12 and younger.

Last year's effort collected 11,443 pounds of food. Donations will be given to the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

Discounted tickets can be purchased online at medievaltimes.com/chicago, using the code FOOD17, or at the Medieval Times box office, 2001 N. Roselle Road, Schaumburg. Three donated food items are required for each admission, with a limit of six discounted admissions per order. Fill the Pantry discounts are valid off full-price adult and children's tickets only, and cannot be combined with any other discount, group rate or voucher tickets.
