UNCASVILLE, Conn. (April 29, 2014) - In conjunction with WNBA Cares Week of Service, the Connecticut Sun will host a food drive, beginning at its preseason opener against the New York Liberty on May 4th at 1 p.m. at Mohegan Sun Arena.
The Sun will also collect food during its regular season opener against the Liberty on May 16th at Mohegan Sun Arena. That game tips off at 7 p.m.
Fans are asked to bring non-perishable food items, which will then be donated to the New London Community Meal Center. Bins for food collection will be available on the concourse just inside both entrances of Mohegan Sun Arena. The entire team will be volunteering at the Community Meal Center on May 12th as part of the WNBA's Week of Service.
The New London Community Meal Center was established in 1985. It was created to respond to the needs of New London's most vulnerable residents by providing nutritious meals in a kind, hospitable and clean environment. The organization currently provides lunch five days a week and dinner six days a week, including Saturday dinner served by a downtown New London church.
