COLTS, MEIJER TO HOST "SACKING HUNGER" FOOD DRIVE
Limited Edition Poster for Fans Who Donate at Colts November 10 Game
 
INDIANAPOLIS – On Sunday, November 10, the Indianapolis Colts will team up with Meijer, the Official Supercenter of the Colts, to host the eighth annual SACKing Hunger Food Drive, prior to the Rams game. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., volunteers will collect canned/non-perishable food items from Colts fans for Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana. Donations will be collected at the Colts Community Collection Stations, presented by Toyota, located outside each Lucas Oil Stadium gate.
 
Fans who donate on Sunday will receive a limited edition poster featuring members of the Colts, while supplies last. Monetary donations will also be accepted.  One dollar feeds four people.
 
Fans may also TEXT-TO-GIVE or donate online to the SACKing Hunger Virtual Food Drive. By texting "FEEDING" to 27722* and replying with YES to confirm, individuals can automatically give $10.00 from their mobile phones to support Gleaners Food Bank.  Through the online drive, individuals may select food items as if they are grocery shopping, and donate them to Gleaners Food Bank via credit card. This feature will also show the impact of their donation by displaying the number of individuals their donation will help feed. To donate, please visit http://bit.ly/sackinghunger2013. The virtual food drive will run through Friday, November 15.
 
All donations will benefit Gleaners Food Bank, an organization that stores and redistributes donated food to more than 350 hunger relief agencies to serve Indiana's hungry. During the 2012 Colts gameday collection, more than 2,100 pounds of food was donated to Gleaners Food Bank. Gleaners Food Bank is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
