NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Those who donate five non-perishable food goods can see a free movie of their choice at the North Adams Movieplex.

 

The downtown theater will hold its annual "Five For Free" food drive Tuesday night to benefit the Berkshire Dream Center.

 

"We always like to be part of the community, not just in the community, so we like to do our part," theater manager Scott Ingalls said. "There are a lot of people out here who need it."

 

He said people who donate can see the movie of their choice for showings starting between 6 and 7:30 p.m.. He said the movies are first-come, first-serve. People can also donate throughout the day and get a free large popcorn.

 

The Berkshire Dream Center, a Christian-based non-profit, runs a number of charities and community outreach programs from its church on Tyler Street in Pittsfield and a drop-in center at 149 Eagle St. in North Adams. Its mobile food pantry visits the Mohawk Forest, Brayton Hill and Greylock Apartments housing complexes once a month.

 

In addition to the food drive, Ingalls said the theater will also continue the season's spirit through the month with free showings of popular Christmas movies.

 

"We have done really well with the free movies so far and a lot of people seem to come out," he said.  

 

On Saturday, Dec. 10, there will be a free showing of "Miracle on 34th Street," and Sunday, Dec. 11, there will be a showing of "Elf."

 

"Muppets Christmas Carol" is set for Dec. 17; "Christmas Vacation" on Dec. 18, and "Home Alone" on Dec. 24.

 

All shows start at 11 a.m. and also are first-come, first-serve. Ingalls said donations will also be accepted at the free movies.
