Okemo Sets Food Drive for Dec. 15

Ludlow, VT – During this holiday season, Okemo invites skiers and snowboarders to consider the needs of those less fortunate and to get a deal on a lift ticket in the process.

On Saturday, Dec. 15, Okemo Mountain Resort will host its annual Cares and Shares Food Drive. When skiers and snowboarders donate at least five non-perishable food items, a new child’s toy or new clothing item, their generosity will be rewarded with a discounted $39 lift ticket for a full day of skiing and riding at Okemo.

Okemo Mountain Ambassadors will be accepting donations in the Vermont ski resort’s Clock Tower and Jackson Gore base areas between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. Volunteers from the Black River Good Neighbor Services Christmas Basket Program will help distribute the donated items to needy families in time for the holidays.

In addition to gathering donations for the Cares and Shares Food Drive, Okemo is donating 100 frozen turkeys to the cause.
“We want to make sure every family in the Okemo Valley has plenty to eat this holiday season,” says Okemo Marketing Events Manager Sarah Ebbott. “This is a great way to get our guests involved in the local community and it’s a great way for Okemo to play a part.”
