Strike Out Hunger Today! | The Greater Boston Food Bank

Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd; donate some money to the FOOD BANK, because it’s the gift that always gives back! Let me root, root, root for the RED SOX, If they don’t win, it’s a shame! For it’s ONE, TWO, THREE strikes, you’re out, At the old ball game!!

Over the past two decades, the Red Sox Wives and fans have raised nearly $290,000 to help The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) end hunger here. The 2013 event raised enough to provide 45,081 meals to those in need across Eastern Massachusetts and GBFB is grateful for this continued support. This year, our goal is to raise enough to provide 60,000 meals!

To get into the spirit for this year’s event, a few of the Red Sox Wives and their children visited GBFB last month. Among them was Kristi Gomes (Jonny Gomes’s wife) and their daughter, Hyla Ross (David Ross’s wife), and their children, and Kelli Pedroia (Dustin Pedroia’s wife) and their son. They enjoyed a great afternoon filled with a tour of the warehouse and sorting and labeling Mac n’ Cheese boxes. One of the Red Sox children had so much fun that he said he wanted to come back and have his birthday party at GBFB!
