UNCASVILLE, Conn. (May 14, 2012) - The Connecticut Sun will host a food drive at its home opener on May 20th as they take on the New York Liberty at Mohegan Sun Arena at 5 p.m.
The Sun are asking fans to bring non-perishable food items to the game, 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 the following week as part of the WNBA's Week of Service.

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.
The Sun will open their 10th regular season on May 19th at New York, and will return home to host the Liberty the next day at Mohegan Sun Arena at 5 p.m. For more information on the Connecticut Sun, visit www.connecticutsun.com .
