Every time a Rochester Red Wings pitcher strikes out an opposing hitter during the regular baseball season, a donation is made to Volunteers of America.
All funds raised through our Strike Out Poverty campaign directly supports VOA’s life-saving services, including our emergency shelter for families experiencing homelessness, supportive housing for senior and veterans, early childhood educational programs at the VOA Children’s Center, residential reentry programs for men and women exiting incarceration, and essential support services for those with mental and behavioral health concerns.
Help us Strike Out Poverty by making a donation online or texting the word STRIKE to 366283.
Join VOA as we throw out one of the first pitches at the Red Wings game on August 14 at 6:45 p.m. at ESL Ballpark.
A special thanks to our #StrikeOutPoverty 2026 season sponsor!
