Highlighting Community Commitment

This partnership first made headlines during Bay FC’s inaugural season in 2024, making Trader Joe’s the first national grocery chain to join forces with an NWSL team. Together, they’re tackling food insecurity through initiatives like ‘Kick Hunger powered by Trader Joe’s.’ For every corner kick taken by Bay FC, the company contributes $250, with a maximum donation of $25,000 to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Isn’t it inspiring to see sports making such a positive impact?
By providing healthy snacks at every home match and supporting local hunger-relief organizations, Trader Joe’s is making a real difference for families in the community. This initiative not only nurtures children but also raises awareness about the critical importance of proper nutrition. How can we resist supporting such a worthy cause?
FanFest Activities and Match Day Experience
But wait, there’s more! Bay FC is encouraging fans to arrive early to take part in expanded FanFest activities that promise to enhance the match day experience. This is your chance to engage with the team and dive deeper into the initiatives being supported through the partnership with Trader Joe’s. Expect a variety of activities designed to celebrate not just the sport, but the community as a whole. Are you ready to immerse yourself in the excitement?
Just a quick note: while you’ll be able to enjoy the Bay FC mini tote bags during the match, they don’t comply with the bag policy for PayPal Park, meaning they won’t be allowed at future games. So, make sure to check the regulations to ensure a seamless entry experience. Who wants to miss out on the fun because of a little oversight?
The match against the Houston Dash is set to kick off at 7 p.m. PT, with gates opening at 5 p.m. PT. This much-anticipated event is shaping up to be a celebration of soccer and community spirit, and it will be broadcast live on ION.
