i received an email today from the alameda county community food bank confirming that starting june 9th the food drive will be up and running at all wednesday home games. i'm pasting the message below, but assuming the promotion is the same as in past years, in exchange for 2 cans of food you get a voucher for a free plaza seat to a future game. if you are already a dollar day regular, this is a way to increase the flow of cheap tix throughout the summer.

here's the message i got:

Yes the Food Bank will be collecting donations this summer starting with the June 9th game.  We will be at every Wednesday home game from June 9th – September 22nd (a total of 8 games).  Details will be up on our website, www.accfb.org, in the next few days after we iron out some details with the A’s.
