The Portland Sea Dogs, in partnership with Maine’s Credit Unions, is holding its 19th annual Food Drive to benefit Good Shepherd Food Bank. The Food Drive kicked off on Monday, January 14 and will run through Friday, February 1.
This year’s food drive will be “Buy One, Bring One, Get One.” If you purchase a game ticket and donate a food item, you will receive a free Sea Dogs ticket to the same game. The offer is good for Box Seats, Reserved, General Admission, and Pavilion seating (excluding All-You-Can-Eat tickets); subject to availability.
Fans may take advantage of this offer by bringing their non-perishable food items to the Hadlock Field Box Office, which is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
“Raising both funds and awareness about hunger is an important part of why Maine’s credit unions are so committed to the cause of ending hunger in Maine,” said Todd Mason, President/CEO of the Maine Credit Union League. “Through our partnership with the Sea Dogs, we are once again focusing attention on this significant issue in Maine. Since 1990, Maine’s credit unions have raised more close to $9 million to help end hunger in Maine, however, much more work remains to be done not only in terms of collecting food and money but getting it to the people who need it most. We continue to look for opportunities to make a difference and look forward to working with the Sea Dogs once again.”
Each year the Sea Dogs have been able to donate hundreds of food items to Good Shepherd Food Bank thanks to the generosity of Sea Dogs’ fans and credit union members.
The Sea Dogs open the 2019 season on Thursday, April 4 at 6:00 PM at Hadlock Field.
