The New York Mets announced the establishment of a $1.2 million program for seasonal game-day employees affected by the ongoing suspension of the MLB season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The program, which is entitled the Mets COVID-19 Disaster Assistance Fund, will provide need-based grants for employees who need financial help for things such as food and shelter.
The Mets have been involved in COVID-19 relief efforts elsewhere as well.
For example, starting pitcher Steven Matz donated $32,000 through his TRU 32 program to New York City first responders and hospitals.
