Rock ‘n’ More is participating in the Hopelink Can Madness, a food drive tournament among local businesses and organizations to benefit Hopelink.

Similar to the March Madness basketball tournament every spring, businesses and organizations are paired up on a bracket and compete each week with one other team in a single-elimination food drive competition. On Fridays, each team must bring donations to a designated Hopelink center to be weighed, and winning teams from each match-up will move on to the next round.

Donations can be brought to Rock ‘n’ More before March 7.
