LAKEWOOD, NJ - The BlueClaws have partnered with Rutgers Against Hunger, a Rutgers University initiative to address hunger across New Jersey, for a food drive on Monday, May 30th, that will benefit Your Grandmother's Cupboard, a BlueClaws Charities Community Partner.

Any fan that donates at least two non-perishable food items at the May 30th game will receive a complimentary BlueClaws ticket to a Sunday-Thursday game in June.

"There has been an increase among those who need food assistance in the last year and the BlueClaws are pleased to be able to continue to help fight hunger in New Jersey," said BlueClaws General Manager Geoff Brown. "We are grateful to Rutgers Against Hunter for their support as we raise food donations for a worthy cause, Your Grandmother's Cupboard."

The May 30th game (Memorial Day) begins at noon. After the game, fans are invited onto the field for a Fan Photo with BlueClaws staffers, mascots, and characters, which will be posted on BlueClaws.com. Kids will also eat free, like every Sunday and Monday, thanks to ShopRite.

Rutgers Against Hunger works to increase awareness of hunger, encourage activism and service to tackle hunger, stimulate research to assist those in need, and provide immediate relief through food drives and other events to raise money and collect food.

Rutgers Against Hunger partners with the New Jersey Federation of Food Banks which includes The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the Food Bank of South Jersey, the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank, and NORWESCAP Food Bank as well as several other community food banks and pantries throughout the state. Visit RAH.Rutgers.edu for more information.

Your Grandmother's Cupboard is a Toms River-based organization established by people who recognize the needs of the homeless and working poor in our communities. The Cupboard was established to provide some of these basic needs through local donations. For more information, visit YourGrandMothersCupboard.org.
