The Ed Reed Foundation has been serving under-resourced youth in Baltimore and New Orleans for 24 YEARS through our community programs founded in mentorship, health and wellness, and exposure to new environments. Our Founder, Hall of Famer and Ravens legend Ed Reed, knows the impact that being able to gather loved ones around a table for a holiday meal has and that's why we provide full Thanksgiving meals to families from our partner school and organizations each year.

Ed brings the same passion he showed on the football field to the community through the Ed Reed Foundation. Knowing the basic human need for food security was not being met for many of the families we serve, the Ed Reed Foundation supports those in-need through initiatives such as our annual REEDSgiving program. This year we will provide over 14,000 community members with holiday meals to enjoy in their homes! Join us in making this holiday season a truly special one for families in our target communities.
