WESTMINISTER, MD – Baltimore Ravens football fans were out in full force on April 18 to see long snapper Morgan Cox, punter Sam Koch and kicker Justin Tucker at the Jiffy Mart “SNAP. HOLD. KICK.” charity autograph signing event. The event helped raise both funds and awareness for Carroll County Food Sunday.

“In 2012, Carroll County Food Sunday serviced an average of 430 families a week, handled 20,507 requests for assistance, and purchased 225,238 pounds of food for the food bank,” according to Ed Leister, chairman for Carroll County Food Sunday.  “That was in addition to the 143,509 pounds of donated food we received, and the 38,918 pounds of food received from the federal government.”

Tom Moser, general manager for Jiffy Mart, added, “Carroll Food Sunday also provides milk vouchers to families, and over half of them are redeemed at Jiffy Mart locations.  Therefore, it’s an honor to help in the funding of an organization that does so much for our local families.”

More than 200 people lined up for autographs. Those in attendance were also entered to win a Terrell Suggs autographed football.  As an added treat, Martins Chips, UTZ Chips, Hershey, and Pepperidge Farm provided samples to those in line while WTTR was there doing a live radio show during the event. 

The Jiffy Mart team made a presentation of funds totaling $4,400 to Carroll County Food Sunday.
