New England Revolution players and staff volunteered at the Boston VA Brockton Campus on April 15.
According to a community announcement, players Brandon Bye, Wyatt Omsberg, and Donovan Parisian joined club staff in the Farm-to-Table greenhouse and garden. This effort was part of Major League Soccer's Greener Goals Week of Service.
The volunteers helped plant seeds, prepare garden beds, and install a drip system for the upcoming gardening season. The VA Boston Healthcare System's Farm-to-Table initiative provides fresh, organic food for resident veterans and offers meaningful work for volunteers and Compensated Work Therapy participants. The Brockton Campus is one of only two VA organizations in the U.S. using a farm-to-table service to address food scarcity among veterans. Each year, the garden supplies fresh produce to veterans.
On April 19, before their match against New York City FC at Gillette Stadium at 7:30 p.m., the Revolution was planning to wear this year’s Adidas "One Planet, One Chance" pre-match jersey. This jersey, inspired by reforestation and natural ecosystems, features a yellow hue representing soil and is made entirely from recycled materials.
