The Preds and Second Harvest Food Bank will be collecting non-perishable foods of all types at the doors of these two games. Peanut butter, canned fruit, dried beans, macaroni & cheese, canned vegetables, and boxed or bagged rice are especially welcomed.

If you are unable to make it to the Sommet Center for either game, donations maybe dropped off at A-Game Sprotsplex in Franklin or Centennial Sportsplex in Nashville between Nov 5 and Nov 25.

Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee opened its doors in 1978 with commitment from several community leaders.
