HIT HUNGER OUT OF THE PARK

Cal Raleigh knows being a hometown hero is about more than baseball—it’s about showing up for the community he calls home. Together, we aim to leverage the power of community and the love of good food to help local children who are struggling with food insecurity.

“No child should ever have to worry about where their next meal will come from, and that’s why I’m proud to team up with Evergreens and Backpack Brigade to support kids and families in need. Come out and enjoy the Call Me Cal-iente wrap because every bite helps a great cause.”
– Cal Raleigh, Pro Catcher

“Seattle is at its best when we care for each other. By joining forces to fight food insecurity, we’re helping kids and families in our own neighborhoods. This partnership ensures no one is left behind and aims to build a stronger, more connected community.”
– Wendy Collie, CEO of Evergreens

“We are incredibly grateful to Cal Raleigh and EVERGREENS for supporting Backpack Brigade’s mission to end weekend hunger. As we enter the school year, preparing to reach more students than ever before, every dollar truly makes a difference.”
– Nichelle Hilton, Founder & Executive Director of Backpack Brigade

BACKPACK BRIGADE

Every child deserves to eat on the weekend. For many students, free or reduced-price school meals are their only reliable source of nutrition, leaving weekends without consistent access to food.

Backpack Brigade was founded in 2014 and is the largest provider of weekend hunger bags to students in Washington State. Each week, the organization delivers nutritionally dense, kid-friendly, and easy to cook meal bags with breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks to more than 100 schools where they’re distributed by school staff to students in need. The program serves over 5,100 children and totals more than 1.3 million meals annually.

Powered by volunteers and sustained through donations, Backpack Brigade ensures kids return to school on Monday fed, focused, and ready to learn. Learn more about Backpack Brigade’s mission and how to get involved. Follow along on Instagram for more updates.

Every dollar raised through this partnership goes directly to feeding the kids in our communities who need it most.
