Toledo Competing Against Bowling Green in MAC Food Drive Initiative

TOLEDO, Ohio – The University of Toledo Athletics Department is once again teaming up with Bowling Green State University for the MAC Food Drive Initiative as part of the Battle of I-75 rivalry.

Toledo students and fans are encouraged to donate nonperishable food items to support the Rocket Food Pantry, which provides food assistance to University of Toledo students.

Donations will be collected at three upcoming home athletics events, giving Rocket fans multiple opportunities to support the initiative while cheering on their teams.

The donation schedule is as follows:

Saturday, Nov. 7 – Women's Basketball vs. Michigan State at 2 p.m.
Tuesday, Nov. 10 – Men's Basketball vs. Wright State at 7 p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 14 – Women's Volleyball vs. Bowling Green at 7:30 p.m.

Fans can also drop off donations daily at the collection location in front of the Rocket Athletics Ticket Office inside Savage Arena. Items of importance include canned chicken, canned tuna, cereal, oatmeal, ramen noodles, jelly, pasta, rice and instant potatoes.

If unable to provide food, non-perishable household items and dollar donations will also be accepted at this link.

The MAC Food Drive Initiative brings together Toledo and Bowling Green in a friendly competition that extends the Battle of I-75 beyond the playing field, demonstrating the positive impact the two athletic departments can make in their respective campus communities.

Toledo Athletics encourages all Rocket fans, students, alumni and community members to participate and help make this year's food drive a success.
