MEADVILLE, Pa. -- The Allegheny College Department of Athletics has partnered with The Salvation Army of Meadville to host a food drive during the home events at Robertson Athletic Complex on Saturday, November 14.
Volunteers from The Salvation Army will collect donations outside the entrance to Frank B. Fuhrer '48 Field along Park Avenue beginning at noon.
The Gators have two home games on the docket for Saturday. The women's soccer team will begin its Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) tournament run on the blue turf at 11 a.m. against McDaniel College. The Allegheny football team will kick off against Case Western Reserve University at 1 p.m.
For community members unable to stay for the games, a drive-thru drop-off option will also be available. The drive-thru can be accessed by entering the northern fan parking lot entrance, heading south along the access road to the drop-off location, and exiting via the roundabout at the main facility entrance.
Fans are encouraged to join the Gators in supporting The Salvation Army of Meadville by donating nonperishable food items and other shelf-stable goods to help local families in need, especially with the holiday season approaching.
