Las Vegas Wranglers News Release


Las Vegas - Partnering with Three Square Food Bank for the fourth year in a row, the Las Vegas Wranglers will be hosting the annual "Fill the Mayflower" food drive before two games against the Ontario Reign on Friday, Nov. 2, and Saturday, Nov. 3.

Fans can bring non-perishable food items and cash donations to help fill a Mayflower moving truck on Friday, Nov. 2, from 4 - 7:30 p.m., and on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 3 - 7:30 p.m. Those who donate a minimum of five items will receive a voucher good for one free ticket to an upcoming Wranglers game of their choice. Most needed items include canned tuna, rice, canned fruits and vegetables, canned soups, and dried or canned beans. Puliz Moving and Storage has graciously supplied the Mayflower truck, and it will be located at the southeast entrance of the Orleans Arena.

All donations will benefit Three Square Food Bank, which has received over 10,000 pounds of food from Wranglers food drives since the first "Fill the Mayflower" event in 2009. The current Wranglers team also spent last Wednesday night, Oct. 24, helping to pack over 2,400 pounds of pantry boxes to help support the Southern Nevada community.
