**ST. LOUIS, Mo., August 22, 2025– ST. LOUIS, MO** – Cardinals Care, the charitable
arm of the St. Louis Cardinals, is teaming up with FanDuel Sports Network Midwest
broadcasters **Chip Caray** and **[Brad Thompson](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/thompbr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2025-08-26_br)**
to launch the **2025 Feed the Future initiative**, benefitting **Operation Food 
Search**. With child poverty more than doubling nationwide, this effort will help
provide vital resources to families across the St. Louis region at risk of hunger.

“Food insecurity continues to affect too many families across our region,” said 
Caray. “With the support of our team of broadcasters at FanDuel Sports Network, 
and generous Cardinals fans, we hope to provide meaningful relief while rallying
the community together.”

Fans can contribute by making a donation of $5 or more to support Operation Food
Search.  Fans (ages 18 and older) who donate $200 or more will be eligible to participate
in a special **Feed the Future Food Packaging** event alongside Chip, Brad and fellow
broadcasters from FanDuel Sports Network **at Operation Food Search on Friday, September
19 from 10 AM – 12 PM**.   As part of the experience, each registered donor will
receive:

 1. Four (4) tickets to the **Friday, September 19 game vs. Milwaukee Brewers**
 2. A **Cardinals Goody Bag**
 3. A **photo opportunity with broadcasters** at the event

“Because of a 20-30% increase in need reported by our community food partners, Operation
Food Search relies on dedicated friends like Cardinals Care, Chip Caray and Brad
Thompson to help us rally the community to meet that need,” said **Kristen Wild,
President & CEO of Operation Food Search**. “We’re excited to have this caring group
of Cardinals fans coming to OFS and playing such a crucial role in our mission.”

To double the impact, **Cards Care will match all fan donations up to $10,000**,
with 100% of proceeds benefitting Operation Food Search.  For more information and

**ABOUT OPERATION FOOD SEARCH**

Founded in 1981, Operation Food Search is a hunger relief organization that provides
food, nutrition education and innovative programs in order to reduce food insecurity
and increase equitable access to food. OSF serves 200,000 people every month through
a network of 330 partners in 25 counties in Missouri and Illinois. They use a combination
of immediate food assistance and supportive services, while also working on long-
term solutions and systemic changes to help solve the problem of hunger.

**ABOUT CARDINALS CARE**

Cardinals Care was established to give fans a way to team up with players and the
organization to help children in our community—both on and off the baseball field.
Established in 1997, Cards Care has invested over $31 million to support St. Louis
area children, built or renovated 24 youth ball fields in local under-resourced 
neighborhoods, and distributed over $17 million in grants to nonprofit organizations.

Since 2004, Cards Care has orchestrated the innovative Redbird Rookies program, 
a free co-ed baseball/softball league for kids who otherwise might not have the 
opportunity to play. In addition to providing all the uniforms and equipment needed
for each team, Redbird Rookies also provides extensive off-field support in the 
areas of health, education, mentoring and the cultural arts for each of the nearly
2,500 kids who participate in the program each year.

In 2023, Cardinals Care launched the Cardinals Nike Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities(
RBI) program in cooperation with Major League Baseball to provide greater baseball
and softball opportunities for youth ages 14-18 in our community.
