God's Love We Deliver

Steven Matz and Jacob deGrom visited God's Love We Deliver Food Pantry as part of the MLB Home Plate Project. Major League Baseball and the Garth Brook's Teammates for Kids Foundation started the Home Plate Project to support local community groups dedicated to fighting childhood hunger.

Matz and DeGrom donated $30,000 to God's Love We Deliver to fund healthy meals for children and families facing serious medical issues. Both players volunteered their time to help prepare the meals for children in need.

God's Love We Deliver is dedicated to improving the health and well=being of men, women and children living with serious illnesses by alleviating hunger and malnutrition.

Conforto Cares

Michael Conforto visited kids from Cohen's Children's Hospital for Conforto Cares in partnership with Northwell Health. During the visit, Michael provided the children with 100 Starlight Brave Gowns.

Brave Gowns replace unattractive, uncomfortable and embarrassing hospital garments with high quality, comfortable and team-branded gowns for children to wear while in the hospital. Michael spent time with the boys and girls, took photos and signed autographs as he toured the hospital.

The Conforto Cares program focuses on bringing awareness to pediatric cancer and the challenges these kids face each day.
