The Jets Help Fight Hunger

The New York Jets present a charity event in conjunction with ShopRite, Kraft, Clorox, Nabisco, and Acosta Sales and Marketing Company. Taste of the NFL is a five-star culinary event melding the flavors of food, wine and football in one fabulous star-studded event. I think this is great that the team and the players help by giving back to the community. The story can be found at http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/
