As part of MLS Unites, a league-wide platform created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nashville SC partner Captain Morgan has pledged an initial donation of at least $55,000 to The Nashville Food Project.

The donation to the nonprofit is part of Captain Morgan’s initial pledge of $500,000 across the United States and Canada to assist local MLS communities affected by COVID-19. In the weeks since the March tornadoes that hit Nashville and Middle Tennessee and in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, The Nashville Food Project has prepared and shared more than 25,000 meals. The Food Project, in partnership with Fat Bottom Brewery and Nashville SC, has also launched Community Cupboard, which offers groceries to displaced hospitality workers and others who have experienced job or wage loss due to COVID-19.
