Saturday, November 10, 2012: 7 Line Calendar Release Party/Fundraiser & Canned Food Drive
For those of you lucky enough to have gasoline in your tank, why not come down to McFadden's Citi Field this Saturday night for The 7 Line's 12 Months of Orange & Blue calendar release party. In the wake of Super Storm Sandy, the event is now doubling as a fundraiser and canned food drive to benefit the victims of the devastating storm. This year The Apple is an official sponsor of the calendar so stop by and say hi if you can. Look for the giant banner!
This one isn't really an "event" but I wanted to support a new business in Westchester, Rudy's Food, Sports & Entertainment in Hartsdale, NY. If any of my Westchester readers want to hang out, a few of us will be heading to Rudy's to watch the Giants game at 1PM. The Jets game starts at 4PM so I'll probably stick around and watch at least the 1st half.
Wednesday, November 14, 2012: Mets & City Harvest Food Drive
The Mets will hold a Food Drive Wednesday, November 14 from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. at Citi Field to benefit New Yorkers in need.
Fans can drop off their food donation inside the Hodges VIP entrance next to the Mets Team Store.
Fans donating 10 items or more of nonperishable nutritious food will receive a voucher redeemable for one pair of tickets to a select Mets game in April 2013. Donors will also receive 15% off select merchandise at the Mets Team Store at Citi Field. Season Ticket Holders who donate food can show their ID card to get 20% off select items. The discount will only be honored Wednesday, November 14.
Among the items most needed are: canned fruit and vegetables, plastic jars of peanut butter, packages of hot or cold cereal, and packages of macaroni and cheese. Items that will not be accepted are: unlabeled, expired, or dented cans; any open packaging; products that need to be refrigerated; or homemade products.
Fans dropping off food may park in Lot G on 126th Street between the Right Field Gate and Roosevelt Avenue.
City Harvest is working to help meet the needs of Hurricane Sandy victims while continuing to feed hungry New Yorkers through its network of emergency food partners. In addition to daily deliveries to soup kitchens and food pantries across the five boroughs, City Harvest has been making emergency food drop-offs to Staten Island, Coney Island and Red Hook in Brooklyn, Breezy Point and Rockaway in Queens, and Manhattan.
