Knights Crusade Against Hunger

 

The Knights of Meaford of the Greater Metro Hockey League are launching their first ever “Take the Bite Out of Hunger” campaign to help the local food-bank for the Christmas season.

For the month of December, fans are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to any of the five Knights home games and drop it in a bin kindly donated by Grandma Lambe’s. If you are unable to attend any of the games, you may do so during the hours of operation at the Meaford & St. Vincent arena. Monetary donations will be graciously accepted.

Knights Marketing Director Chris Young says a goal of 1000 pounds of food is attainable. Anything over and above that total is a bonus to the food-bank. “This is just the organizations way of giving back to the community to which we operate and live in. Paying it forward at this difficult time of year for those who are unable for whatever reason may enjoy a Christmas meal to which most of us take for granted.”

The five home dates are as follows: 
Thursday Dec.5 @ 7:30pm vs. Bracebridge
Sunday Dec. 8 @ 3pm vs. Toronto Ice Blue Jets,
Thursday Dec. 12 @ 7:30pm vs. Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks,
Sunday Dec. 15 @ 3pm vs. Seguin Huskies and 
Thursday Dec. 19 @ 7:30pm vs. Toronto Predators.

On Sunday December 15, the staff of RBA Financial Group of Meaford will be on hand to take your donations. As well, they will donate a twoonie for every can brought that day up to 500 cans. All money raised will be turned over to the Meaford Food-Bank.
