San Jose Earthquakes News Release


SAN JOSE, Calif. - The Quakes Foundation and The PG&E Corporation Foundation (PG&E Foundation), have donated a total of $200,000 for 50,000 meals to help fight food insecurity in 2024.

In honor of the Earthquakes' 50th anniversary season, the club and The PG&E Foundation worked with 10 Bay Area organizations to distribute the meals. Food distribution was provided by Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen, Hunger at Home, Martha's Kitchen, Alameda County Community Food Bank, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, Sunnyvale Community Services, Food Bank for Monterey County, Front Door Communities, Hope's Corner and CityTeam.

This initiative stems from the Earthquakes' Pledge 74 campaign, an organization-wide program that aims to combat food insecurity concerns in the Bay Area. Pledge 74 was named after the team's founding in 1974 and carries with it a legacy of nearly 50 years of community service.

The 50,000 meals were divided into 5,000 meals per month in 2024. The Earthquakes and The PG&E Foundation partnered with a different organization for each of the 10 months to distribute the meals.

In 2025, both organizations have partnered up again, this time to donate 51,000 meals to combat food insecurity in the local community.
