The New York Yankees and the USO today announced that Yankee Stadium's Great Hall will again host over 250 volunteers to help assemble more than 5,000 USO Care Packages for active duty service members on Wednesday, November 9, at 10:00 a.m.
Yankees front office employees and veterans will be present to help prepare care packages in support of Holidays for Heroes.
