Edward Jones Bag-A-Thon Food Drive – Year 4!
We’re proud to announce that Arizona Elite Baseball Academy is participating in the Edward Jones Bag-A-Thon Food Drive for the 4th year in a row!
Last year, our youth program helped collect over 1,000 pounds of food — this year, we’re raising the bar with a goal of 1,500 pounds donated over the next 4 weeks!
How We Can Hit Our Goal
1,500 pounds total
That’s 375 pounds per week
75 pounds per team per week
Just 7.5 pounds per player per week — and we’ll reach our goal of making a difference together.
Each 1.2 pounds of food = 1 meal, which means our athletes can help provide 7 meals every week for families in need over the next month.
Why It Matters
According to Feeding America, 47 million Americans face food insecurity — including 14 million children.
Hunger exists even in thriving communities, and this is our chance to step up.
Across the country, Edward Jones teams are taking action to lessen hunger through the Bag-A-Thon Food Drive.

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursday’s Team Practices will serve as collection points for nonperishable donations | October 13 – November 10.
