In lieu of admission, game attendees were asked to bring a donation of canned goods or non-perishable items. All donations were sent to the food bank to help families in need.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to support people in need in the Monroe area,” said ULM women’s basketball head coach Mona Martin. “With the holidays approaching, we are thankful that our fans took the time to help ULM support the Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana.”
