LOS ANGELES — The back-to-back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers will stage their annual community service week – Dodgers Love L.A. Community Tour presented by Bank of America – beginning this Monday, January 26 through Friday, January 30.
The 2026 tour will feature 11 different stops over five days, highlighting the team’s special relationship with its fans and community neighbors in the city.
“We are honored to continue our partnership with Bank of America for our annual Dodgers Love L.A. Community Tour,” said Kristin McCowan, Vice President, Government and Community Affairs for the Los Angeles Dodgers. “Following another unforgettable season, we’re excited to extend the celebration beyond the ballpark and into the heart of our communities. This week is about meaningful service by supporting veterans and families, creating inclusive spaces for young people with special needs, celebrating our students and seniors, and recognizing the unwavering dedication of first responders. Together, we’re proud to uplift and empower the people and organizations that make Los Angeles thrive.”
“The week-long Dodgers Love L.A. Community Tour presented by Bank of America is always one of our favorite volunteer events – bringing our World Champion Dodger players, alumni and staff together with BofA teammates to give back to those in need,” said Raul A. Anaya, Bank of America president, Los Angeles.?“From building homes and distributing groceries to families to recognizing first responders, we aim to make a lasting impact throughout the week for as many of our neighbors as possible.”
The tour will begin on Monday with the Dodgers’ annual Employee Day of Service in North Hollywood at the Veteran Enriched Neighborhood, which was established in 2023 in partnership with Homes 4 Families to provide affordable housing and support services for veterans and their families. Dodger front office staffers, Dodger sideline reporter Kirsten Watson and Bank of America employee volunteers will be tasked with building hands-on improvement projects to create shared spaces that promote connection and healing. Late in the afternoon at Adrian’s Place in Santa Monica, the Dodgers and select Dodger alumni will host a hands-on art workshop that encourages self-expression while taking pictures in a photo booth with the World Series trophy. Adrian’s Place is an inclusive community hub, dedicated to creating a welcoming space where families, friends, caregivers and professionals can connect, share experiences and access vital programs and services.
On Tuesday morning, Dodger alumni Billy Ashley, Ken Landreaux and Dennis Powell will pay a visit to Christy’s Foundation in Northridge, where the group will pass out groceries and essentials. Christy’s Foundation helps to empower families and individuals to overcome food insecurity by ensuring access to fresh, nutritious and culturally relevant food. In the afternoon, Dodger alumni Matt Luke and Powell will stop by Hollydale Elementary School in South Gate, where the duo will participate in a “Playworks Recess Takeover,” with eighth-grade students in which movement-based programming encourages interaction and helps break down social barriers.
On Wednesday morning in San Bernardino, 1981 World Series MVP Steve Yeager will join a special appreciation lunch in San Bernardino that recognizes the 10-year anniversary of those who were affected by the tragic shooting at a Christmas party for county employees that saw 14 people lose their lives and 22 others seriously wounded. On the Dodgers Love L.A. tour in January 2016, Dodger legend Andre Ethier and Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda had an impactful lunch with victims and first responders from the 2015 terrorist attack. Later on Wednesday, Ashley will take the World Series trophy over to the City of Los Angeles Emergency Management Department (EMD) in recognition of its continued dedication and service to our communities. Employees will have the opportunity to take photos with the trophy, meet and interact with Ashley, and enjoy a moment of appreciation and celebration during their workday.
