>> Del Monte Canned Food Drive & Holiday Food Campaign
•
•
•
Fans were encouraged during the entire 2007 season to bring a Del Monte canned food
product to a Pirates Tuesday home game in exchange for a free children’s ticket. In turn,
the Pirates and Del Monte donated everything that was collected to soup kitchens and city
missions throughout the Pittsburgh region.
The Pirates and Del Monte teamed up for a week-long initiative at Light of Life Rescue
Mission from December 10 through December 14 to serve breakfast to the hungry.
Volunteers from both organizations, including Pirates President Frank Coonelly
[below, left] and
General Manager Neal Huntington [below, right] , were on hand each morning to serve the food.
