Annual Drive Benefits Capital Area Food Bank of Texas

CEDAR PARK, Texas - The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, announced today the details of their fifth annual H-E-B Food Drive Night to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas this Tuesday, Dec. 8, prior to the team’s game against the Rockford IceHogs at 7:30 p.m.

The Stars’ H-E-B Food Drive will begin at 10 a.m. in the East Lobby of Cedar Park Center and will run until the opening puck drop at 7:30 p.m. Fans who donate eight or more non-perishable food items will receive a voucher for a free ticket to the game and the fan who makes the single largest food donation will win a Texas Stars suite night.

Every fan who donates will be entered to win prizes, including autographed Stars memorabilia. Once the arena doors open to fans at 6:30 p.m., food will be collected at each of the three Cedar Park Center entrances until game time.

Since its inception during the 2011-12 season, the Texas Stars Annual H-E-B Food Drive has brought in more than 7,000 pounds of food and over 6,000 meals for the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas. 

While Tuesday’s game is the official H-E-B Food Drive Night, the Stars also collect food throughout the season on their H-E-B Nights, which occur on every weekday game of the season (Monday-Thursday). Fans can donate any H-E-B branded, non-perishable food item to the Cedar Park Center Box Office to save $5 off their ticket purchase.

The Texas Stars are the primary development affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars and currently in their seventh season at Cedar Park Center. Full season, 24-game and 12-game ticket packages for the 2015-16 campaign are on sale now.  For more information, call (512) GO-STARS (467-8277) or visit TexasStars.com.
