What better group could there be to pass this information on to other than the fan-faithful AN?
The Alameda County Community Food Bank and the A's Community Fund have partnered to do food and fund drives at every Wednesday home game this summer.
On the days listed below, donate 2 cans of food or $5 and receive a Plaza-level ticket to a future A's game! (4 tickets maximum...of course, no maximum on the number of cans of food or money you can donate!).
We will be stationed at Gates C, D and Bart Plaza two hours before game time through the end of the second inning.
It's an easy way to support the Food Bank - and you get a great gift in return!
Upcoming Food Bank Wednesdays Schedule (when to donate)

Due to rising food and fuel prices, the Food Bank is experiencing unprecedented need. The summer months are often the hardest on low-income families because children are out of school - where they may have access to free or reduced-price school meals. In addition, child-care and back to school costs are hard on budgets and utility bills skyrocket. Food drive food is often the highest quality food we receive so go into your pantries and pockets and help your neighbors in need!

Thanks for the reminder, Pam!
I think I’ll put my cans in my game bag right now—otherwise I’ll forget by tomorrow evening.

Thanks for letting us know ...
you should post a reminder every now and then … I won’t be in Oakland for any of the next three weds games … but I might be able to in the future …
