Owen Sound Attack News Release


The Attack Hunger Campaign presented by IG Wealth Management is back for 2023 season with volunteers from our great partner at IG Wealth Management on site this Saturday, November 25th handing out donations bags following our game against the North Bay Battalion. Food and monetary donations will then be accepted at the Owen Sound Attack's next home game on Saturday, December 2nd against the Erie Otters. This year's event goal is to see fans donate thousands of pounds non-perishable food items and raising valuable funds for the Salvation Army Food Bank in Owen Sound.

"As always our involvement in the community continues to be a core value within our organization. With food bank usage on a significant rise, this event is even more important than ever" said Attack Manager of Marketing and Communications Greg Hoddinott. "We are excited to continue to have a great partner in IG Wealth Management who is aligned with supporting this community and those who are in need."

This year's event will see donations being collected on a game night as well as at two main drop-off locations the Attack office downtown and Foodland on the west side. Donations of non-perishable food items will be collected at these locations beginning November 26 to December 4, although they can be made prior to and after these dates as well. Monetary donation can also be made to the Attack Hunger Campaign by visiting the Attack Shack online store and following the Attack Hunger link. All donations over $10 will receive a charitable tax receipt directly from the Salvation Army. If you want to make a donation at the game the Salvation Army will be onsite with their kettles collecting monetary donations.

The need continues to grow at food banks across Ontario and specifically in Owen Sound. The Salvation Army recently reported that food bank usage is up over 42% since last year.
