WASHINGTON -- Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, his wife, Heather, and members of the Nationals' front office spent time volunteering at Food & Friends, an organization that delivers nutritious meals to needy people with critical illnesses, on Monday afternoon.
Ryan and Heather, wearing gloves, aprons and black hair nets, grabbed cooked turkeys off baking trays, wrapped them in tin foil and packaged them in boxes for delivery. This Thursday, Food & Friends will deliver 3,500 Thanksgiving meals for D.C.-area residents living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses. This is Zimmerman's second consecutive year helping F&F, while the Nationals have been involved with the organization for eight consecutive years.
