D.C. United announced today, through United Drives, that the program will collect canned goods to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank, October 18 before United’s match against the Chicago Fire at 7:00 p.m. - buy tickets. The mission of the Capital Area Food Bank is to feed those who suffer from hunger in the Washington metro area by acquiring food and distributing it through its network of partner agencies; and educating, empowering and enlightening the community about the issues of hunger and nutrition.
The United Drives booth is located outside of RFK Stadium’s Gate A and will open an hour and a half prior to kickoff, closing 15 minutes into the first half. Any fan that donates an item will receive a “Buy One, Get One Free” ticket voucher good for any 2015 D.C. United Regular Season home game. Donations are also accepted in the D.C. United offices on game and non-game days, located on the fourth floor of Gate A.
A D.C. United signature program, United Drives assigns a different charity drive for each month of the MLS Regular Season.
