Rochester Americans News Release
(Rochester, NY) - The Rochester Americans announced today the team will hold a Food Drive during each of the next seven home games to benefit Foodlink, the regional food bank. The Food Drive will take place beginning with Rochester's home game on Friday, Nov. 23 against the Utica Comets and will continue through Wednesday, Dec. 19 when the Amerks take on the Belleville Senators.
"The Amerks have long been supportive of Foodlink and the work we do to build a healthier Rochester," said Julia Tedesco, Foodlink President & CEO. "Their willingness to not only collect food, but to visit our distribution center and help us sort it, too, is further proof of their commitment to our community."
Fans are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items by dropping them off in collection bins in front of The Blue Cross Arena Box Office, located in the lower atrium. The items will then be donated to Foodlink, which this year is celebrating its 40th anniversary in Rochester, a milestone the Amerks will recognize and celebrate during their game against Belleville on Friday, Dec. 19 at The Blue Cross Arena.
Any fan that donates two unopened, non-perishable food items in the Foodlink bins at any of the following games will receive a complimentary voucher to the Amerks home game on Wednesday, Dec. 19 against Belleville. Vouchers will be limited to one per person, per transaction.
Friday, Nov. 23 vs. Utica
