A’s outfielder Ramón Laureano gave back to the community on Wednesday in honor of Jackie Robinson Day.
He provided hundreds of meals from Brenda’s Oakland and Sunnyside Catering and Biscuits to healthcare workers at Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center and the Oakland Fire Department’s 24 stations.
"Oakland has felt like a second home for me since I arrived, so I wanted to do my part and thank those who are keeping us safe every day,” Laureano said in an A’s press release. “Collectively we are going through tough times, and it is vital that we help each other right now, whether that's providing meals or support for others or by simply staying home and flattening the curve.
