“We’re in a place where this couldn’t have come at a better time,” said Food Bank of Nevada County’s executive director, Nicole McNeely, on the Community Involvement Day held Monday at the Nevada County Fairgrounds.
The event offered visitors an opportunity to receive a free admission ticket to the upcoming Nevada County Fair if they donated blood with Vitalant, or a buy one, get one coupon if they donated to a number of other organizations present including the Food Bank of Nevada County.
According to McNeely, both food donations and volunteering have “become stalled as things open up,“ following a period earlier in the pandemic in which the nonprofit was receiving more of both. Need for the food bank’s services has gone down at the same time, said McNeely, although it is still higher than in regular distribution times.

Fairfield, and its swarming defense that recovered from a tough start, had other ideas.
Siena was denied its first-ever MAAC championship, as Fairfield again topped the Saints in the league title game at its home Rafferty Stadium in Fairfield, Connecticut. Down three goals minutes into the game, Fairfield rallied back to produce a 12-8 win and secure its third consecutive league championship, and second in a row with a win against the Saints in the final.

LOUDONVILLE A couple years ago, the Siena women’s lacrosse program could see the “finish line,” but was unable to reach it.
“Right now,” Siena women’s head coach Abby Rehfuss said Thursday after her team’s semifinal win, “everyone’s just determined to cross it.”
Siena lost 10-9 in overtime in that 2019 MAAC final at Fairfield, and the Saints’ wait for another chance at claiming their first-ever MAAC tournament championship was delayed a season when the 2020 MAAC season and tournament was canceled because of concerns related to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The opportunity, though, is finally here for the Saints when they play at Fairfield in Sunday’s 1 p.m. championship game to win the game that “means everything,” as senior Nicole McNeely put it, to the Saints.
