Montreal Alouettes News Release
Montreal, October 16, 2013 - The Montreal Alouettes and the Players' Wives Association will be once again counting on fans' generosity this Sunday during the annual Purolator Tackle Hunger food drive at Percival Molson Stadium when the Alouettes host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on October 20 for a 1:00 p.m. kickoff.
Starting at 11:30 a.m. and continuing through the end of the first quarter, Alouettes players' wives will help Purolator and Sun Youth volunteers collect non-perishable food items and cash donations at each entrance of the stadium. Donors will also get the chance to have their photo taken with the Grey Cup at the Purolator booth. Furthermore, all donors will be entered in a draw for the chance to win an autographed Anthony Calvillo jersey.
All proceeds from the food drive will support the Sun Youth Food Bank, which distributes food each month to more than 2,000 local families, one of five of whom have children under the age of five. The Sun Youth Food Bank also provides emergency food assistance throughout the year.
At last year's food drive, Montreal football fans helped raise over 25,700 pounds of food for Sun Youth.
