The Cedar Rapids Kernels have donated their share of Midwest League fine money, collected from the 16 MWL clubs, to the HACAP Food Reservoir.

As a member of America's Second Harvest and the National Food Bank Network, the HACAP Food Reservoir distributes donated products to area soup kitchens, pantries, senior and child care centers, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers and other non-profit food programs that feed the needy.

Annually, the HACAP Food Reservoir Programs distribute 2.4 million pounds of food to local organizations and provide 4,000 food boxes to families in need.

The Midwest League collects fine money from players and coaches throughout the season when they are ejected from a game. The total amount collected this season was $8,450 and the Kernels' share was $529.

The Cedar Rapids Kernels said they are pleased to support HACAP, a diverse, community-focused non-profit organization that is dedicated to empowering and improving the lives of families living with the everyday barriers of poverty.
