ROCHESTER, NY - Rochester Red Wings pitchers Jake Reed and Dietrich Enns will assist with Meals On Wheels deliveries today, Thursday, June 21.

This is in advance of the "Duel of the Dishes" where Rochester will play as the Rochester Plates and the Syracuse Chiefs will play as the Syracuse Salt Potatoes Thursday night at Frontier Field. The players will be leaving the Red Cross Building, located at 50 Prince St., Rochester NY around 11:30 a.m. and be delivering throughout the city.

The players will go out with Meals On Wheels volunteers and help deliver meals that would closely resemble what is in a garbage plate. All the meals prepared for Meals On Wheels are overseen by a registered dietician and contain one third of a senior's daily recommended dietary allowances.
