4th Annual Fill the Trailer Food Drive
We are happy to be bringing back the Channel1450 Fill the Trailer Food Drive for a fourth year with title sponsor Heartland Credit Union along supporting sponsors Hendricks Home Furnishings, Peerless Cleaning & Restoration Services and Roller Brothers Construction. All donations will once again be going to the Central Illinois Foodbank.
The idea is to compete against all the other Channel1450 coverage area football teams in a food drive to see who can collect the most food by filling a football equipment trailer. The winners will be getting t-shirts for the team while the winning coaching staff will get Channel1450 quarter zips with your school logo on them as well.
Please feel free to get your team’s football moms to get some help in the planning. We know this is a busy time a year for everyone.
To keep it fair collection can take place starting Monday, October 9, 2023 and finishing Monday, October 23, 2023.
You can find a list of the foodbanks most needed items and things they can not accept here:
The drop off will be at the Central Illinois Foodbank (1937 E Cook St, Springfield, IL 62703) the afternoon of Monday the 23rd. We will have assigned drop off times between 1pm and 4pm to keep things going smoothly, depending on the number of teams that participate. Those details will be finalized once we know the number of teams participating.
Please have your head coach let DP know if your program will be participating.
