Maine CUs and Portland Sea Dogs Partner on Food Drive


January 31 is the last day to help support the Portland Sea Dogs’ Annual Food Drive to benefit Good Shepherd Food Bank. The drive, held in partnership with Maine Credit Unions, has been collecting non-perishable food items since January 16.

As the Sea Dogs have done in the past, the food drive is themed “Buy One, Bring One, Get One.” For example, if a fan purchases three tickets to a game from the Hadlock Field Box Office and donates three food items at the same time, they will receive three additional complimentary tickets of equal or lesser value to the game. The offer is good for Box Seats, Reserved, General Admission, and Pavilion seating (excluding All-You-Can-Eat tickets); subject to availability.

“Maine credit unions are deeply committed to ending hunger in our state,” said Todd Mason, President/CEO of the Maine Credit Union League. “We believe we have a responsibility to help Mainers gain access to healthy, nutritious meals, and identify the root causes of hunger in our communities. We applaud the Sea Dogs for hosting its annual food drive and are pleased to be a part of this important effort to collect donations and raise awareness about the severity of hunger in Maine. It is a great partnership and one we are proud to support.”

The Portland Sea Dogs have donated hundreds of food items to the Good Shepherd Food Bank thanks to the generosity of Sea Dogs’ fans and credit union members.
