A couple of annual fundraising events will be combined at the auditorium tonight when the Rangers take on the London Knights.
It’s both, Don Cameron Potato Night and Rogers Night.
If you’re going to the game you’re encouraged to bring along a bag of potatoes or a cash donation for The House of Friendship. Executive Director of the agency, Mark Neufeld tells 570 News the spuds are an essential ingredient in their effort to feed low-income earners in Waterloo Region.
He says in the last two years they’ve seen a 17 per cent increase in the number of food hampers they have distributed. Neufeld says in 2008 they handed out 28,000 food hampers and last year they handed out over 33,000.
As for Rogers Night, which is also tonight. You can turn in your old cellphone and proceeds earned from recycling the devices will be donated to Food Banks Canada.
