The University of Maine men’s basketball team will hold a sock drive during its Dec. 10 home game against the University of Maine at Machias at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.

Fans that donate a new pair of socks, hat or mittens will receive a discount for a $5 ticket to a future men’s basketball game this season.

The socks, hats and mittens will be donated to the Bangor Area Homeless Shelter, which is in need of socks following a record-cold November.

Fans can drop off items at any Cross Insurance Center entrance before the 7 p.m. game. Those that can’t attend the game can learn more about helping the shelter by visiting its website.

For more information, contact Chris Hill at christopher.m.hill1@maine.edu or 581.1086. More about the drive is online.
