Museum using Pokémon Go to fundraise for food bank

Aug 25, 2016 | 9:53 AM

With so many gamers catching Pokémons down by the river, the Prince Albert Historical Museum is taking advantage of the latest craze for a good cause.

The museum will be hosting a PokéAid event to help collect nonperishable food items for the Share-A-Meal Food Bank.

From 5 to 9 p.m. tonight, Aug 25, the museum is asking players down by the river at that time to drop off a food item at the museum.

PokéAid events began in New Hampshire as a way to raise support for local charities.
