      This holiday season, PEM is proud to host a food drive benefitting the Salem Pantry! From November 10 through December 7, visitors are invited to drop off a non-perishable food donation at the Admissions desk and receive a voucher for a free cookie at the Atrium Café, courtesy of Gourmet Caterers.

      Accepted items include:

      • Local grocery store gift cards (in $5, $10, or $15 increments)

      • Holiday sides: Stuffing mix, canned gravy, canned cranberry sauce, canned pumpkin, shelf-stable pie shells, baking mixes

      • Pantry staples: Canned goods, spices, cooking oil, flour


      All items must be non-perishable, unopened and non-expired.

      Visitors who donate will also have the opportunity to enter a raffle to win a free one-year family membership to PEM. Members who donate may enter a raffle to win a mystery prize.

      Thank you for helping PEM give back to our Salem community!

      PEM’s food drive is organized by the museum’s Climate + Environment Initiative.
