The Rochester Americans announced today the team will hold a Food Drive during each of its next three home games to benefit Foodlink, the regional food bank. The Food Drive will take place during the Amerks home games on Friday, Nov. 2 versus the Hamilton Bulldogs; Friday, Nov. 9 versus the Adirondack Phantoms; and Friday, Nov. 16 versus the Albany Devils. All three games begin at 7:05 p.m. at The Blue Cross Arena.
 
Fans are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items by dropping them off in collection bins in front of The Blue Cross Arena Box Office, located in the lower atrium, prior to each of the next three games. The items will then be donated to Foodlink. 

Any fan that donates two unopened, non-perishable food items prior to any of the next three home games will be able to save $5 on the purchase of a best-available lower level ticket. Fans will also have the opportunity to save $5 on the purchase of a best-available lower level ticket if they donate to Foodlink through the point-of-sale campaign called “Check Out Hunger” at the Box Office.
 
About Foodlink: Foodlink, the regional food bank, provides food, nutrition, education and resources in Western and Central New York. As a member of Feeding America, Foodlink rescues and redistributes over 13 million pounds of food to 450 human service agencies. While the distribution of food to reduce hunger remains the foundation of Foodlink’s activities, the vision is more holistic: to end hunger, build self-sufficiency, and foster nutritional wellness.
