\u201cTo be able to give back to this community in the Bronx is very meaningful,\u201d Boone said. \u201cTwo of my boys are with me today. I\u2019ve had other family members with me in different years. It means a lot, and I\u2019m thankful to get to take part in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing we know for sure is that the New York Yankees really care about the community,\u201d Food Bank for New York City Institutions and Partnerships Vice President Janis Robinson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have worked so hard to support the Bronx in particular, and Food Bank for New York City wants to partner with the Yankees to do that. Monthly, we do a food distribution at Yankee Stadium. And this has become an annual event. It means so much to the community, to get the toys, but also to get the food. People want to have a nice meal for the holidays, and so we want to help them get the meal they deserve to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the holiday season. Everybody deserves to enjoy the holiday season. We are so pleased with the 44th Precinct, that they invited us to come and participate,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cThey\u2019re giving out the toys and we\u2019re giving out the food. It\u2019s a beautiful partnership between the 44th Precinct, the New York Yankees and Food Bank for New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n
