GLENS FALLS, N.Y. - The Adirondack Thunder announced today that they will team up with Hannaford Supermarkets to support holiday hunger relief efforts with a food drive on Saturday, December 1 when the Thunder host the Reading Royals at Cool Insuring Arena in Glens Falls, NY. The food drive will get underway at 5:30 p.m. Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m.
Fans attending the game are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item, which will be donated to the Greater Glens Falls Salvation Army and Open Door Mission. The collection will take place in the main lobby of the arena. Volunteers will accept donations through 7:30 p.m.
