Turkey Giveaway - Each year, the Amazin' Mets Foundation sponsors a Turkey Giveaway and distributes turkeys to families in need across all five boroughs. Since its inception, the Foundation has purchased 10,500 turkeys through a grant to St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters.
In 2023, the AmazinĄŻ Mets Foundation distributed over 7,500 turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving as part of their ninth annual MetsGiving Turkey Giveaway. Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez joined Mr. & Mrs. Met to help distribute the turkeys at the various community partner locations. Individuals receiving the turkeys were also given a voucher for tickets to a Mets home game in 2024 and a MetsGiving tote bag.
AmazinĄŻ Mets Foundation Holiday Dinner - In 2023, Mets third baseman Mark Vientos teamed up with the AmazinĄŻ Mets Foundation for the inaugural AMF Holiday Dinner. Vientos, Mr. and Mrs. Met and volunteers from the Mets front office served meals and handed out holiday gifts to more than 300 individuals from Sunnyside Community Services and Neighborhood Association for Inter-Cultural Affairs (NAICA).
Kids Holiday Party - Each year, the Mets host the Kids Holiday Party at Citi Field with students from local Title 1 schools in Queens to celebrate the holiday season. Children enjoy a holiday lunch, play games with Mr. & Mrs. Met and receive gifts from Santa and his elves.
