Bowlers looking to earn a free game and do something good for the community will soon have the opportunity to do both, thanks to the Strike Out Hunger campaign at the Harvest Park Bowl in Brentwood.

Bowlers who bring in a canned-good product or non-perishable food item during regular operating hours now through Dec. 20 will be treated to a game on the house.

All collected items will go directly to the Brentwood Regional Community Chest for distribution to needy families in town.

Harvest Park Manager Sherry MacKenzie said she heard about the Strike Out Hunger project through the Northern California Bowling Association, and thought it would be a perfect fit for Brentwood. “When I heard about this, it just sounded like a great thing,” she said. “Jim (Wangeman), who owns the Bowl, is very active in the Community Chest, so it all came together. I figured everyone can use a free game – and it’s a great way to help out a local charity. We’re hoping to have a great response.”

The free games are subject to lane availability, and do not include bowling shoes. Harvest Park Bowl is located at 5000 Balfour Road. For more information, call 925-516-1221 or visit www.harvestparkbowl.com.
