The New York Yankees are set to host their 30th Annual Holiday Food Drive on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Gate 2 of Yankee Stadium. This cherished event, now a three-decade tradition, aims to bring holiday cheer to families in need throughout the Bronx by providing them with essential food supplies during the season of giving.
In partnership with C-Town and Bravo supermarkets and Krasdale Foods, the Yankees are inviting fans and community members to contribute to the effort by donating at least 30 pounds of non-perishable food items. Donations of canned goods, pasta, rice, and other shelf-stable items are welcome; however, bottled water will not be accepted. These contributions will go directly to Bronx families, helping ensure they have access to nutritious meals during the holidays.
To show their appreciation, the Yankees are offering a special incentive to donors. Each person who contributes the minimum donation of 30 pounds will receive a voucher redeemable for two complimentary tickets to select home games during the 2025 Yankees regular season. This token of gratitude not only highlights the team’s commitment to their fans but also encourages broad participation in this vital initiative.
For added convenience, those driving to the event can drop off their donations at Gate 2 of Yankee Stadium, located on Jerome Avenue near East 164th Street. Volunteers and staff will be on hand to assist with the process, ensuring that contributions are collected smoothly and efficiently.
The food drive is part of the Yankees’ ongoing commitment to giving back to their community, particularly in the Bronx, which has been home to the team for over a century. By leveraging their platform, the Yankees aim to mobilize fans and community members to support those facing food insecurity during one of the most challenging times of the year.
As the holiday season approaches, the Yankees invite all who are able to join this effort to make a tangible difference for families in need.
