The Rochester Americans are hosting a community food drive this week at The Blue Cross Arena to support the families impacted and those in need following last week’s mass shooting in Buffalo.
Fans are encouraged to donate unopened, nonperishable food items by dropping them off in collection bins in front of The Blue Cross Arena Box Office, located in the lower atrium.
In addition to food items (especially in need of canned proteins and peanut butter), fans can donate items such as reusable bags/freezer bags, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, diapers, detergent and other personal care products.
Donations will be accepted during regular Box Office hours beginning Wednesday, May 25 through Friday, May 27 between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., as well as on Amerks game days starting at 11 a.m. through the first intermission.
The Amerks host the Laval Rocket in Game 3 of the North Division Finals on Wednesday and, if necessary, Game 4 on Friday at The Blue Cross Arena. Both matchups start at 7:05 p.m.
