About:
Guilderland Lacrosse Collected and donated 682 lbs for the Guilderland Food Pantry. Thanks to all who donated and our booster club for organizing!
The Guilderland Lacrosse Booster Club organized the food drive for our boy’s lacrosse teams to participate in.
Coach Sean McConaghy has the boys lacrosse players volunteer for some sort of community service each season. This year the Booster Club Officers decided that it would be a good idea to hold a food drive. The boys handed out flyers this past Friday and then they collected the food Saturday morning. All players 7-12th grades were invited to participate. William Angus, Lucas Roberts, Tyler Fung, and Gavin Fung met at the Guilderland Food Pantry to unload cars filled with the food and bring it into the pantry. Mac took the picture showing off all the food collected and we were later told it was 682 pounds!
This was a great way to bring our kids and community together to help feed children in our area. The Guilderland Food Pantry currently feeds 65 kids 8 meals a week with the Backpack Program.
