Canned food drive jump starts Festival of Trees

Duke’s World of Energy is gearing up for its annual Festival of Trees display with a canned food drive to support Oconee feeding programs.  Through December, the public is encouraged to drop off 15-ounce canned goods at the World of Energy during normal business hours (10 am – 4 pm) to support the Duke Energy Foundation focus on feeding insecurities.  Anyone bringing canned goods will receive a free, reusable grocery bag.  The Festival of Trees display and voting contest begins Wednesday, November 29 and continues through Friday, January 5. In this year’s festival, more than 20 beautifully decorated trees will be on display in the World of Energy lobby — each tree decorated by local businesses, civic organizations and non-profit groups.
