Ahead of the holiday season, the Kentucky football team is thinking about those who need help the most. With a little bit of buy-in from the BBN, everyone in the Central Kentucky community can end 2021 with a bang.

This weekend the Wildcats are hosting the Sack Hunger Food Drive. Kentucky is asking the Big Blue Nation to bring nonperishable food items to gates 2 & 9 outside of Kroger Field before the Wildcats host Tennessee. From dry pasta and peanut butter to mac and cheese, anything you can give will go directly to help those in need.

If carrying around nonperishables on your Caturday is a little too inconvenient, don’t you worry. There are other ways you can help the Cats in the Community.

The Lexington Ronald McDonald House is located right next to Kroger Field. Kick returner Zach Johnson and a few teammates are raising funds to support families that use RMHC services while loved ones battle cancer. Johnson created a GoFundMe that is nearing its goal of $1,500, but every little bit helps.

Mark Stoops’ Wildcats are good at football and great members of the Central Kentucky community.
