If We Score 30 We Will Feed 300 People for Dinner

Carlos Mendoza Inspires the Sports World With a Bold Pledge to Turn Every Mets Game Into a Mission of Kindness

A Manager’s Powerful Promise

In a moment that stunned the press room and inspired fans everywhere, New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced a game-changing initiative: for every 30 runs the Mets score, 300 meals will be donated to hungry families across New York City.

“We play to win, but we live to serve,” Mendoza said. “Every run matters now—for more than just the scoreboard.”

The campaign, now officially called “Points with Purpose,” is already being praised as one of the most meaningful community-driven efforts in Major League Baseball history.

Feeding Hope With Every Game

Mendoza, known for his passionate leadership, explained that the Mets are partnering with food banks, shelters, and local outreach programs to directly deliver meals to struggling families and unhoused individuals across the five boroughs.

Each milestone—30 runs scored as a team—triggers a large-scale meal distribution, funded and supported by the Mets and select partners.

“We’re not waiting for the playoffs to make an impact,” Mendoza added. “We’re making every single inning count—for New Yorkers who need hope.”

The Locker Room Responds

Mets players embraced the pledge without hesitation. Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Kodai Senga were among the first to back Mendoza publicly.

“This is why I love this team,” Lindor said. “We’re playing for something bigger now. Every base hit is a step toward a better New York.”

The entire roster has pledged personal donations and appearances at upcoming food distribution events. The sense of purpose, insiders say, has transformed the atmosphere inside the Mets clubhouse.

Mets Fans Rise to the Occasion

Word of Mendoza’s heartfelt initiative spread like wildfire on social media. Within hours, the hashtag #PointsWithPurpose was trending across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok.

Fans began pledging their own support, with many offering to donate $1 for every Mets run scored this season.

“This is why we bleed orange and blue,” one fan posted. “Carlos Mendoza just gave us another reason to believe.”

Leading With Heart

Carlos Mendoza is no stranger to adversity—having risen from humble beginnings in Venezuela to manage one of MLB’s most high-profile teams. His commitment to social impact is rooted in personal experience, and his goal is clear: make the Mets a force not just in baseball, but in humanity.

“Baseball gave me a dream,” Mendoza said. “Now I want to use that dream to help others wake up to a better day.”

More Than a Season

The Mets may be chasing a championship, but under Mendoza’s leadership, they’re also chasing something far more meaningful—a chance to leave a lasting impact on the community that has supported them for generations.

For the first time in a long time, every hit, every run, every inning means something bigger.

And that’s the kind of win that no scoreboard can measure.
