MLB Together and John Deere, the presenting sponsor of MLB at Field of Dreams, teamed up this week to co-host a community event in Dyersville, Iowa. Over 140 volunteers helped support River Bend Food Bank, which supplies food and resources to a network of more than 400 food pantries and meal programs serving people experiencing hunger in eastern Iowa and western Illinois. Additionally, for every home run hit during the game, John Deere will donate 100,000 meals to Feeding America, up to 500,000 meals, to support families facing hunger.

“There is nothing … that is more unifying and important than support for veterans.” Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred and Phillies owner John Middleton helped unveil the newly renovated Veterans Multiservice Center as part of MLB Together’s All-Star Week Legacy Projects. Headquartered in the Old City section of Philadelphia, the VMC provides comprehensive services to veterans, including housing, employment assistance, and mental health resources, to 9,500 visitors annually.
