KIRKSVILLE, MO --
You'll have a chance to help out a local food pantry by cheering on the Kirksville Tigers this Friday.
    
Two or more non-perishable food items will get you into Friday's home game against Monroe City.
        
The food will benefit families in Adair County.

“Our goal is to fill the band trailer that will be parked at the game. All food items collected will be donated to the local Salvation Army food pantry. It is a great opportunity for our community to come out and help support the Kirksville Tigers and at the same time fill the Salvation food pantry,” said Co-Organizer Barbara Rice.
   
“We heard that the food pantry was in great need of food and we just wanted to do our part to help out,” said Co-Organizer Janet Reed.
 
Last year this event brought in 1400 pounds of food.
    
The game starts at 7 p.m. at Spainhower Field.
