With the help of the sponsors UPS, iHeartMedia radio and, of course, the volunteers of the Salvation Army, the 2014 campaign stockpiled over 220,000 canned food items during the one-day event. This event provides meals not only at the holidays but well into the summer months.   Organizers hope to set a new record this Once again, Hollywood has stocked our theatres with excellent films for Cans Film Festival.  Family hits such as Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur and the lovable gang from The Peanuts Movie will delight children!  The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 wraps up the film series and will certainly be a popular draw.  Classic heroes such as James Bond in Spectre and Rocky Balboa in Creed will tempt many movie-goers, too.  Even brand new films like Krampus, The Letters and Chi-raq are part of the offer.
