KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Western Michigan hockey team will be partnering with the WMU Food Marketing Association to "Outskate Hunger in Kalamazoo" at this Saturday's home game against Denver.
 
Any fans that bring in at least five food items to donate will be entered to win a WMU Hockey gear. Fans are also able to make a monetary donation, with all proceeds going to Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes.
 
Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes got its start in several downtown Kalamazoo congregations in the early 1980's. A group of individuals recognized that their neighbors were struggling to put food on the table so they took up the charge to fill the food gap. What they didn't know at the time is that their initiative to lend a hand would have a profound impact on our community. Today, those efforts have grown into an organization that, while no longer religiously affiliated, welcomes people of all faiths. With help from people of all beliefs and backgrounds, we provide an average of 700 people with groceries each day.
