Current Organizations we are supporting with our May 2015 Comic Con
Summer Lunch Program through the Piqua Salvation Army
"Our Summer Feeding Program runs Monday through Friday and begins June 1st and continues through August 21st. We offer a hot nutritious lunch for any child from 0 to 18 years old. We serve lunch from six locations around Piqua. Last summer we served almost 10,000 meals during the eleven week Summer Feeding Program. We expect the need to be just as great this year, if not greater. This program is supported by community donations. Because we feed 200-250 children a day, monetary donations are appreciated so we can order larger quantities of food. However, if someone would like to donate food items, canned fruits and vegetables are appreciated as well."

Are U Game's Summer School Supply Drive
Are U Game is kicking off their school supply drive over the summer. Bring any regular school supplies to the convention and items can also be dropped off at Are U Game now through August. We will be distributing the school supplies from our store around the 2nd week of August 2015. This is something we hope to continue each summer to help the children in our community have access to the supplies they need to ensure the best education available to them!
