This year, Atrium Health is spon- soring two more days of food collec- tion for two other local food distribution points. Nonperishable food items col- lected on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 13 and 14, will be shared with Washington Outreach Ministry Inc. and Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. It has become a tradition for the Cleve- land County ALWS Baseball Inc. Ex- ecutive Committee to honor senior citizens with free admission the fi rst day of the national tournament each year. For 2022, that day is Aug. 11 with four games featuring all eight regional teams, starting at 10:00 AM. Stadium gates will open at 8:00 AM. The Neal Senior Center administration will place collection boxes on both sides of the main entrance to Keeter Stadium. The boxes are receptacles for nonper- ishable food and hygiene items that will be available at the center for needy se- niors. The pantry depends solely on dona- tions. Adults aged 55 and older can re- ceive pantry items up to once a month. The Council on Aging of Cleveland County is the county's leading agency on aging. In addition to the pantry, the staff at the Neal Senior Center provides blood pressure screenings, exercise classes, and other social interaction and support. According to U.S. Census Bureau es- timates in July 2021, more than 19,000 residents of Cleveland County are 65 and older. "We have a consistent crowd of seniors who attend the games and support the series in various way, including as vol- unteers," says Eddie Holbrook, chair- man of the local ALWS committee. "The free admission on our longest day and the chance to help our seniors facing food shortages are simple ways we can assist people who are very important to us. "We have heard uplifting stories of the work by Washington Outreach Ministry Inc. and Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. They are suppling food to over 15,000 individuals monthly. We applaud their assistance to the hungry in our commu- nity." The ALWS committee is honoring health care personnel by offering free admis- sion for all 15 games of the 2022 series. In addition to the food collection, Atrium Health is sponsoring Health Care He- roes Day on Sunday. Miss North Caroli- na USA Morgan Romano and Miss Vol- unteer America Alexa Knutzen will sign autographs in the Atrium Health Hospi- tality Tent and give autograph seekers an Atrium Health challenge coin. "We cannot thank all health care work- ers personally for standing in the gap during the pandemic, but we can ac- knowledge that we owe them a debt of gratitude for their service," says Hol- brook. The 2022 ALWS is scheduled for Aug. 11-16. General admission tickets are available online or at the ALWS offi ce weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM through Aug. 10.
