The Prince Albert Raiders made a pretty heavy donation on Thursday morning, donating over 2,000 lbs of food to the Prince Albert Food Bank.
All the food that was donated came from the Raiders food drive they collected during Wednesday’s game, which saw up to 2,300 people in the stands.
Executive director of the Prince Albert Food Bank Kim Scruby said that a big donation like this goes a long way, especially during the holidays.
“Especially at this time of year just given the economic circumstances here in PA and all over North America, we’ve actually seen a big increase in multiple employed households,” he said. “So it is getting busier as Christmas approaches and it was all the right stuff that was donated.”
