Some of the UNM football team’s coaching staff’s wives are starting a canned-food drive Saturday, and it will continue through the Lobos’ Nov. 6 game against Wyoming.
In coordination with Roadrunner Food Bank, “Fans Feeding Families” will provide food for Albuquerque families over the holiday season.
Fans who provide two cans of non-perishable food will receive an $8 discount for this Saturday’s game and against the Cowboys in November.
Kia Locksley, head coach Mike Locksley wife, is spearheading the drive.
“As coaches’ wives, we move a lot,” she said. “The best way to get integrated into the community is to immediately jump in, volunteer and find out where a need is. With the economy the way it is, the coaches’ wives were talking one day, and we thought we need to get together and see how we can support the community.”
Boxed meals, canned items, cereals, pasta and sauces, peanut butter, rice, soup are accepted.
