🎄 Hoover Lights Community Food Drive

Helping Local Families One Can (or Contribution) at a Time

At Hoover Lights, giving back has always been one of our favorite Christmas traditions. This year, we’re inviting everyone who visits the display to help support our local food pantry and families right here in our community.

Whether you bring a canned good, drop off non-perishable items, or use the Venmo QR code to help us purchase items, every single contribution makes a meaningful impact. Your generosity helps fill pantry shelves, stock family kitchens, and bring comfort to neighbors who need it most.

How You Can Help

Bring canned goods & non-perishables to the donation stand at the front of the display
Scan the Venmo QR code to contribute toward purchasing pantry staples
Share the word — the more people who know, the more families we can support

Every Donation Stays Local

100% of all food and monetary contributions go directly to helping families in our area. Together, we can make this season brighter, warmer, and a little easier for those who need it.

Thank you for being part of the light, kindness, and community that make Hoover Lights so special. 🌟

I went to it several times this holiday season, to show others but now the animations have gotten a little wonky but that's just my little own opinion. I love what they are doing as a service to the community to keep the Spirit alive! I'd do it too if I could afford. 5 stars overall but I think save the experimenting on the visuals for the off season.

Awesome show. I'm not sure how to tell everyone to shut their lights off. Awesome show. Will be back. Would recommend putting stakes to show the best spots for the show and maybe show when the next show is.

Amazing techno-light show that integrates Christmas music with a magnificent light show that's sure to please.

Great find in Chapel Hill.

Note to spectators- please don't park where you are blocking those around you from also enjoying the show. I know its challenging, but just be considerate of others...

Also, TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS! Including parking lights. Be courteous to others!!!

Jim Gerardi

18:36 09 Dec 20

Worth the drive!! Say and listened to 5 different songs (tune radio to 107.1 FM) each of which altered the colors and display!

About 20 cars were lined up on both sides of the road with their lights off to watch the show. Everyone I show videos of the show to are excited to see it in person.
