CLEVELAND -- Following a near-two-week road trip, the Cleveland Cavaliers will return to Quicken Loans Arena on Monday when they host the Milwaukee Bucks.

And when they do, they'll take on a worthy cause.

Monday's game against Milwaukee will mark the start of the Cavs' "Harvest for Hunger" campaign, in which fans are encouraged to donate canned foods and non-perishable items at grocery cart collection bins located at all main entrances into Quicken Loans Arena. The campaign will last throughout each of the Cavs' three home games next week, including Monday against Milwaukee, Wednesday, March 21 against Toronto and, Friday March 23 against Phoenix.

Fans who donate at least six items at any of the three games will be entered into a raffle to win four tickets and VIP passes to Fan Appreciation Night on Wednesday, April 11 against New York. Those attending Wednesday's game will have the opportunity to participate in a 50/50 raffle, which will benefit the Harvest for Hunger initiative.

The Cavs, for their part, will once again donate 10,000 meals to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. The team will also donate $1 for every pound of food donated at each game.

Tickets for all three games are still available and can be purchased at Cavs.com. For more information on Harvest for Hunger, you can visit http://www.greaterclevelandfoodbank.org/.
