Aaron Judge, Captain of the New York Yankees and Founder of the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation, recently announced the latest 2026 Mini-Grant recipients. Each organization will receive a $3,000 grant to support programs that align with the Foundation’s mission to inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens and reach unlimited possibilities.

Second Harvest of the Greater Valley in San Joaquin County is among the recipients.

Its Fresh Food 4 Kids (FF4K) program helps address food insecurity by providing nutritious food to students and families at 15 school sites throughout Stockton. Each month, SHGV delivers four to six pallets of food, including fresh produce, meats, dairy, and shelf-stable staples to underserved neighborhood schools, where staff and volunteers distribute groceries to students and their families through walk-up and drive-thru formats. The program also stocks school pantries, giving students access to snacks, lunches and essential food items during the school day. The ALL RISE Mini-Grant will help purchase approximately 20,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables for distribution to Stockton families, ensuring they have access to the nutritious food they need to learn, grow and thrive.

Also receiving funds were the Fresno Philharmonic Association in Fresno County, and Children of Promise, NYC, in the Bronx.

“These Mini-Grant recipients share our commitment to helping young people lead healthy, meaningful lives and reach their full potential. Through education, community involvement and opportunities for personal growth, they’re making a real difference. I’m proud that ALL RISE can play a part in supporting their efforts,” said Judge.

All funds donated for the ALL RISE Mini-Grant program go directly to children and youth programs in San Joaquin County, California; Fresno County, California; and Bronx County, New York.
