Press Release, Bent’s Opera House

MEDINA – Bent’s Opera House will open its doors to the community on Sunday, Nov. 9, for a free hot buffet and food drive from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

In light of the recent SNAP benefit shutdowns, the event aims to provide comfort and relief to families affected by food insecurity in the region .

The buffet will operate on a “Pay-What-You-Can” basis — allowing guests to contribute what they are able, or nothing at all. Whether dining in or taking a meal to go, everyone is welcome. Donations are appreciated but never required .

In addition to the hot buffet, to-go boxes and non-perishable food items will be available for community members to take home. The event underscores Bent’s Opera House’s ongoing commitment to serving as a gathering place for kindness, generosity, and shared support during challenging times .

“We know these times have been difficult for many in our community,” said Jaclyn Eichas, general manager of Bent’s Opera House. “Our hope is that this event provides not just a warm meal, but a reminder that no one faces hardship alone.”

Reservations are encouraged but not required. For more information, please call (585) 318-2110 or visit bentsoperahouse.com.
