ECA CHAPTERS HOLD FOOD DRIVE TO HELP SUPPORT LOCAL FOOD BANKS FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Non-Profit Advocacy Group for Gamers Teams Up with Food Banks across the United States and Canada to put a stop to hunger.

The Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA), the membership organization which represents gamers, today announced that chapters are lending their support and providing food drive in locations all across the US and Canada where the respective chapters are located. The ECA is asking its members and the gaming community to help support this mission and get involved. You can join a chapter or (form one if there isn?t already one in your area) by visiting http://www.theeca.com. "We look for ways in which to help communities in need," said Heather Ellertson, ECA Vice President of Marketing. "Our chapters are a great way for gamers to get involved in the gaming community and to partake in activities with others who share similar interests. They each have their own activities and events that they do, such as game nights or membership drives. They help drive ECA campaigns, and are used for focus groups and beta testing. We are pleased that our chapters, will be the driving force behind this year's 'Gamers for Giving' food drive.
