The Stouffville Spirit is teaming up with the Whitchurch-Stouffville Food Bank to fight hunger this month.
At the Jr. A hockey team’s three games, Dec. 9, 16 and 30:
- Volunteers from the food bank will accept donations of food and cash.
- All proceeds from in-game 50/50 draws will go to the food bank.
“We know how bleak the economic situation is for many people out there this year,” said Spirit Governor Kenny Burrows. “And we thank our local food bank for helping out so many of our neighbours facing tough times in the Stouffville area.”
Game time each night is 7:30.
The Spirit is proud of its work with area organizations, including: the Lions Club of Stouffville, Stouffville Terry Fox Run, Trillium Gift of Life Network, UHN Foundation, Hockey Gives Blood/Canadian Blood Services, Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund, Coats for Kids and the Kids First Fund/Whitchurch-Stouffville Minor Hockey Association.
