NEW YORK (November 17, 2020)– Major League Soccer and Wells Fargo today announced the 26 Community MVPs that were selected for making a positive impact during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fans throughout the soccer community had the opportunity to nominate themselves or individuals who have provided critical services, including healthcare professionals, social workers, teachers, first responders and many other essential workers keeping our communities resilient and safe.

Through the 2020 MLS WORKS Community MVPs Program presented by Wells Fargo, $65,000 will be donated to charity on behalf of each Community MVP, one representing each MLS club, for going above and beyond to serve their communities during these challenging times. Each Community MVP will receive a donation to a 501(c)(3) charity of their choice, a customized adidas MLS jersey and an MLS adidas 2020 NATIVO XXV Official Match Ball.

Representing the Union is Nancy Craskey, the Director of Development at CityTeam Chester. CityTeam provides help and hope to neighbors in need with hot meals, groceries, shelter, housing, and restorative programs, learning and career help, and more. When the COVID-19 pandemic reached Philadelphia, Craskey kept open lines of communication through social media channels to make local residents aware of CityTeam's emergency food box distribution and new system for dinner pick up. With food insecurity at an all-time high during the COVID-19 pandemic onset, Craskey and her team stepped up when the community needed them most.
