Cardinals Fighting Hunger

The Cardinals and Cardinals Care have stepped up to help fight food insufficiency throughout the St. Louis region. The need for food is even greater now due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Home Plate Project

Cardinals Care teamed up with Adam Wainwright's Foundation Big League Impact and Garth Brooks' foundation, Teammates to Kids on the Home Plate Project to provide over 200,000 meals to children in need across the St. Louis area.

Helping to distribute meals were three partner organizations:

  • Crisis Aid International is committed to "helping the helpless" with relief efforts locally and globally. Home Plate Project funds helped to feed nearly 5,000 families of which more than 8,205 were children, in the St. Louis region by providing groceries designed to supplement meals for up to five days.
  • Operation Food Search is a non-profit hunger relief organization focused on ending hunger in the St. Louis region. The funds provided through the Home Plate Project provided nutritious meals to children during the summer months.
  • St. Louis Area Foodbank's mission is to build stronger communities by empowering people with food and hope. Our vision is to create a stronger, healthier bi-state region where no one goes to bed hungry. The Foodbank is able to provide four meals for every dollar donated. The Home Plate Project helped to feed 91,000 children facing food insecurity in the region.
