Although the 2020 season has ended, Sporting Kansas City's drive to help the community continues.
In an initiative announced last month, Sporting Kansas City has partnered with Harvesters - The Community Food Network to launch the “KC As One” mask campaign. The community program helps feed those in need throughout the holiday season while also supporting public health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supporters can visit SportingKC.com/KCAsOne to purchase a limited-edition “KC As One” facemask while supplies last. Proceeds from mask sales will go to Harvesters, a regional food bank serving the entire Kansas City region. For every mask sold, Harvesters can provide up to 18 meals for individuals and families in need. Through this initiative, Sporting fans have already helped donate more than 18,000 meals for fellow Kansas Citians.
“KC As One” facemasks are available for $10 with pickup at the following locations:
- Sporting KC Front Office: 2020 Baltimore Ave., Kansas City, Mo. 64108 (streetside lobby)
- Children’s Mercy Park: 1 Sporting Way, Kansas City, Kan. 66111 (Budweiser Brew House)
Fans can also have their masks shipped to their respective homes. The cost of shipping will be added to the final total.
The “KC As One” mask campaign is the latest initiative tied to Sporting Serves, a philanthropic platform that Sporting Kansas City launched in April in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sporting Serves has seen Sporting KC and The Victory Project—the club’s flagship charitable foundation—join several community partners to serve Kansas Citians through a variety of programs. Sporting KC leverages the Sporting Serves platform to build relationships with local and national partners and nonprofits, supporting and serving those in need during the pandemic and beyond.
Harvesters is a certified member of Feeding America, a nationwide network of more than 200 food banks. In 2011, Harvesters was named Feeding America’s Food Bank of the Year. To learn more about the nonprofit organization, click here.
