Curbing Hunger Inc. Giving Away Free Baseball Tickets for Canned Food

The Somerset Patriots and Curbing Hunger Inc. are looking for help from the public -- but not on the field.

Somerset County announced that baseball fans who attend the June 10 Somerset Patriots game versus the Camden Riversharks and bring at least one canned food donation will receive a ticket voucher for that night’s game.

The game will take place on Wednesday, June 10, at TD Bank Ballpark, 860 Main St. in Bridgewater, at 7:05 p.m. Curbing Hunger Inc. will have a table set up near the ballpark turnstiles at 5 p.m.

The food collected at TD Bank Ballpark will benefit the 21st annual Curbing Hunger Month food drive in Somerset County, county officials said. The Somerset County Board of Freeholders proclaimed June as Curbing Hunger Month and encouraged residents to put canned food donations in plastic bags at the curb on regular recycling days in June.

Food collected during Curbing Hunger month will benefit local food pantries, including the Food Bank Network of Somerset County and the Franklin Township Food Bank.
