As Mariners pitcher Marco Gonzales and his wife Monica watched the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic, they became more and concerned about the impact it’s having on families already struggling to make ends meet.
With the resumption of baseball still a distant prospect and time on their hands, the Gonzaleses decided to get busy. On Thursday, Marco and Monica spent the morning making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Northwest Harvest, Washington’s leading hunger relief agency.
Friday, they launched the Gonzales Family Peanut Butter Drive, an online fundraiser to help Northwest Harvest meet the increasing demand for nutritious food.
