Scuffer campaign benefits Chitt. Emergency Food Shelf

By Sally Pollak, Free Press Staff Writer • Friday, December 4, 2009

An effort to collect food for the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf could mean a meal at the Scuffer Steak & Ale House, if your team gathers the most food.

The food-collecting campaign is a collaboration between the Scuffer, WVMT (620 Talk Radio), and KeyBank.

To participate, you need to:

• Put together a team of family, friends, co-workers and start collecting cans and boxes of food.

• Deliver your food to the food shelf, on North Winooski Avenue, before Jan. 4. If you gather too much food to deliver, call the nonprofit at 658-7939 to arrange a pick-up time.

The group that brings the most food is the winner.

• If your team wins and you collect 1,000 pounds of food, you win a chicken dinner for up to 60 people at the Scuffer.

• If your team wins and you collect 1,500 pounds of food, you win a prime rib dinner for up to 60 people at the Scuffer.

• If your team wins and you collect 2,000 pounds of food, you win a steak and lobster dinner for up to 60 people at the Scuffer. To register, go to: www.newstalk620wvmt.com/Article.asp?id=1383048
