Cutters Virtual Food Drive Moved to August 4– Fans Can Earn Incentive Prizes!

The Williamsport Crosscutters will be holding a “virtual food drive” at their game on August 4 to benefit the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. The event was originally scheduled for July 8 but the game was canceled due to rain.

The Food Bank can maximize monetary donations because of their wholesale purchasing ability, partnerships with food donors and suppliers, and efficient distribution model. For every $1 donated, the Food Bank can help provide six nutritious meals to those in need.

During the Williamsport Crosscutters virtual food drive, fans can earn prizes by donating money to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. Incentive prizes include tickets, limited-edition pins, bobbleheads, concession coupons, Cutters souvenirs and more. Donation levels start at just $1.

Unlike past years no food will be collected at the game. The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank
acquires, sorts and distributes more than 1.3 million pounds of food per week. Traditionally, community food drives provided less than 1 percent of that food and take valuable time and
expense to collect and sort. For this reason, the Food Bank is no longer accepting food from
traditional food drives.
The donation portal is now open and will close during the August 4 game at the end of the 7th
inning. Fans must attend the August 4 game to collect their incentive prize. Those who wish to
donate and do not attend the game will forfeit any prizes earned. Fans not attending the game may donate at http://donate.centralpafoodbank.org/goto/crosscutters
