ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
The Attack Hunger Campaign presented by IG Wealth Management is back for 2022 season with volunteers from our great partner at IG Wealth Management on site this Saturday, December 10th handing out donations bags following our game against the Guelph Storm. Food and monetary donations will then be accepted at the Owen Sound Attack’s last Saturday home game before the Christmas break, Saturday, December 17th against the Windsor Spitfires. This year’s event goal is to see fans donate thousands of pounds non-perishable food items and raising valuable funds for the Salvation Army Food Bank in Owen Sound.
“Our involvement in the community continues to be a priority for us, and we continue to work hard to be involved while following pandemic protocols” said Attack Manager of Marketing and Communications Greg Hoddinott. “We are extremely excited to bring another sense of normalcy to our season with Attack Hunger Campaign moving forward in its traditional execution.”
This year’s event will see donations being collected on a game night as well as at three main drop-off locations the IG Wealth Management office on the east side, the Attack office downtown and Foodland on the west side. Donations of non-perishable food items will be collected at these locations beginning December 5 to 17, although they can be made prior to and after these dates as well. Monetary donation can also be made to the Attack Hunger Campaign by visiting the Attack Shack online store and following the Attack Hunger link. All donations over $10 will receive a charitable tax receipt directly from the Salvation Army. If you want to make a donation at the game the Salvation Army will be onsite with their kettles collecting monetary donations.
The need continues to grow at food banks across Ontario and specifically in Owen Sound. Since the pandemic was declared in March 2020 $1,001,890.00 of practical food assistance has been provided in Owen Sound. 1 in every 3 food clients in Ontario are children.
