Drive away hunger at Comcast Community Ice Rink’s ‘Curbside Food Drive’ on Friday, November 21 from 7:30 am - 9:00 am. Donate a non perishable item at the ‘Curbside Food Drive’ benefiting Volunteers of America Food Bank in Everett and receive a free Comcast Community Ice Rink public skating voucher.
There is no need to even get out of your car, Global Spectrum staff from the Comcast Arena at Everett and the Comcast Community Ice Rink will be stationed on Broadway Avenue collecting items of non perishable food for the holiday food bank needs. Lincoln, the Everett Silvertips mascot, and other festive friends will be onsite handing out goodies and Whidbey Island Coffee will be serving free coffee.
The Volunteers of America Everett Food Bank is experiencing a higher need than ever before. This month 14,800 people (4,843 households) in need have requested holiday food from the Everett Food Bank. Fifty percent of those are children and twenty percent are seniors in need.
The Comcast Community Ice Rink Food Drive continues through the end of December where skaters receive a $2.00 discount on public skate admission with a donation of a non perishable item of food. FMX Freestyle Motocross World Tour on Saturday, November 15 also raised over 200 pounds of non perishable food to be donated to the Volunteers of America Everett Food Bank.
