Bank of America's "Hits for Hunger" program also allows MLB fans to get involved and help support Americans at risk of hunger. Fans can log on to http://www.feedingamerica.org/ and make their own contribution to help provide food to people across the country. The Bank of America Charitable Foundation will make the $5,000 per hit contributions and match the total online donations made to Feeding America during the July 14 MLB All-Star Game, up to a maximum contribution of $100,000. Funds generated through "Hits for Hunger" will directly benefit the St. Louis Area Foodbank, one of the 206 food banks in Feeding America's network. The 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is focused on supporting charitable initiatives and celebrating community service.
