Hudson Valley Renegades News Release
Wappingers Falls, N.Y. - The Hudson Valley Renegades, in partnership with the Fishkill Food Pantry and Fishkill Little League, will be hosting a food drive at Dutchess Stadium on Sunday, July 17. The drive will collect goods for the Fishkill Food Pantry as part of the "Fishkill Serves" initiative created between the Renegades, the Fishkill Food Pantry and Fishkill Little League.
"With food insecurity in Dutchess County being a growing issue, we are thrilled to be able to help the Fishkill Food Pantry and make a positive impact on our local community," said Marcella Costello, Community Partnerships Manager for the Renegades.
Last month during HOPE Week, the Renegades donated approximately 100 pounds of needed goods to the Fishkill Food Pantry.
The Fishkill Food Pantry encourages fans to donate the following most urgently needed items:
Healthy cold cereals
Healthy snacks for kids
Toilet paper
Paper towels
Napkins
Toiletries (Deodorant, toothpaste/toothbrushes, bar soap, body soap)
Fans who bring these items will be entered into a raffle to win one of five autographed items. Fans will receive one (1) raffle ticket for each individual urgent item from the above list. The Renegades will raffle the items periodically from the middle to the end of the game. Fans MUST be present at Dutchess Stadium to win.
"We need your help more than ever," said Kristen Cullen, Executive Director of Fishkill Food Pantry. "With increased prices comes more food insecurity. We have three or four new families seeking assistance each week!"
In addition to the aforementioned items, the Fishkill Food Pantry has provided the attached list of needed goods. In compliance with the EAT SMART NEW YORK initiative, the food pantry no longer distributes soda, juice or candy to its clients, and pasta is not needed at this time.
The Fishkill Food Pantry is located at 1153 Main Street, Fishkill, New York, 12524. They are open from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 2:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. on Wednesday; and 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. on the first and third Saturday of every month.
The Renegades host the Greenville Drive on Sunday with first pitch at 2:05 p.m. Gates open at 1 p.m. There will be tables set up to receive donations at both the season ticket members gate and the main gate at Dutchess Stadium.
