The public will have the opportunity to get into the November 20 and November 25 games for a reduced price if they bring in two canned food items. The normal $8 ticket price will be reduced to $5 for those who bring in two canned food items.
When asked why supporting these two organizations was important to NM State men’s basketball, Coach Menzies replied, "It has always been important to me, my family and our team to support the Aggie Cupboard and El Caldito Soup Kitchen. We speak daily to our guys about the great things the Las Cruces community does for us. The New Mexico State Basketball team is pleased to work with both organizations for such a great cause.”
Additionally, Gabrielle Robinson ([email protected]) has been coordinating a food drive competition among Greek Life. The food will be brought to one of the games to determine which house brings in the most food.
The Aggie Cupboard is a food pantry begun in 2012 for the NM State students and employees, and El Caldito Soup kitchen has served the local community for 29 years.
