In his first video post on Twitter, Baltimore Orioles Hall of Famer, Cal Ripken Jr., shared that he is joining his father’s organization to fight hunger during the COVID-19 shut downs.
The Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation has worked with at-risk youth in Baltimore and around the nation. The Foundation has created Youth Development Parks to give at-risk youth safe places to play. They also work with adult mentors to help at-risk children at schools, too.
With Ripken’s announcement on Twitter, the Foundation is shifting focus to feeding Americans with food insecurities.
