Ike is pictured with Syd and with two of Aramark’s concessionaires loading over 600 meals in the RWU SUV and Ryan Vines, RWU summer research analyst. Rock and Wrap It Up! is being highlighted this season, the Mets 50th, for its programs to help reduce poverty.

This increases their operating budgets and allows them to hire more services - tutors, social workers, job placement counselors and mental health counselors to attack the root cause of poverty. Since 1991, they have fed over one billion who are hungry.
They work in Sports, Music, Schools, Hotels, Entertainment and do Public Advocacy nationally. Rock and Wrap It Up! and all of its partners are protected from liability by the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act (Pub. L. No 104-210, 110 Stat. 3011 (1996)
