Leagues Cup is committed to support positive change in all 47 local communities of our participating clubs. With United Against Hunger, MLS & LIGA MX join forces to address food insecurity across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
For every Leagues Cup match ticket sold, two meals will be donated to those in need.
The National Food Bank Network in Mexico (Red BAMX), a non-profit civil association, was founded three decades ago. It encompasses over 50 Food Banks across almost the entire Mexican Republic. Its mission is to combat hunger and improve nutrition in Mexico. Red BAMX rescues food throughout the entire value chain to deliver it to vulnerable populations, working under the highest standards of quality control and logistical management. Additionally, it is a founding member of The Global Food banking Network.
Feeding America® is the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States. As part of a network of more than 200 food banks, 21 statewide food bank associations, and over 60,000 partner agencies, food pantries and meal programs, we helped provide 5.2 billion meals to tens of millions of people in need last year
Second Harvest is Canada’s largest food rescue organization and is a global thought leader on perishable food redistribution. We work with thousands of food businesses from across the supply chain to redirect unsold surplus food to non-profit organizations that feed communities in every province and territory.
By keeping perfectly edible food from ending up in landfill and redirecting it to the charitable sector, our work prevents harmful greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere and improves access to nutrition for the millions of people in Canada experiencing food insecurity.
In addition to our core work of food rescue, Second Harvest produces research on food loss and waste, provides education and training for the charitable food sector and has developed the Second Harvest Food Rescue App to facilitate direct donations from food businesses to local non-profits across Canada.
