RENTON, Wash. – The Seahawks announced today plans to host a food drive at the team's November 24 game vs. the Arizona Cardinals at Lumen Field.

Lumen Field will have 12 donation bins located outside the stadium, including in front of all entry gates, for fans to easily drop off their donations prior to entering the stadium. KING 5 will broadcast live from Gate 3 from 9:00 a.m., with appearances from Seahawks Legends, Blitz, Blue Thunder and Seahawks Dancers. Gates will open at 10:00 a.m. for Ticketmaster Tailgate, 10:30 a.m. for Club & Suites and 11:30 a.m. for main gates. Kickoff is at 1:25 p.m.

All donations will go to Northwest Harvest, the state's largest hunger relief agency. Northwest Harvest distributes food to every county in Washington, working with a statewide network of 400 food banks, meal programs, and schools. Northwest Harvest also works with partners across the region to address the systemic root causes of hunger.
Fans not attending the game can also show support for Home Team Harvest by donating online, or by making a donation at any Safeway or Albertsons store checkout stand, which funds grocery cards distributed to hunger relief agencies throughout Washington.
Since 2001, Home Team Harvest has raised more than 100 million meals. For more information on Home Team Harvest, click here.
