Thanksgiving. The day in which we celebrate and give thanks for the harvest and the past year. Traditionally celebrated with a feast, often with family and friends.
For many Americans, such a meal is common. But, there are plenty of people who do not have the means to enjoy Thanksgiving like the rest of us.
Thankfully, there are many people with big hearts, willing to bear the burden of supplying those less fortunate with food for their own celebratory meals. People like Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph.
Thursday, Randolph unloaded 1,000 turkeys and hams for citizens in his hometown community in Marion-Grant County in Indiana as part of his 6th Annual Zach Randolph Turkey and Ham Drive.
These hams and turkeys are going to make a good meal for 1000 families in Marion-Grant County this Thanksgiving! http://t.co/I1vQtpijyX

It’s truly encouraging to see such wonderful acts of kindness from those we revere in the NBA. It is truly a great example for all of us to follow.
With Thanksgiving Day just a week away, be sure to do what you can to give back to your community.

Too late, all of those families are going to starve. Anthony Bennett already ate them.
That’s just wrong. SMH (I’m trying not to laugh.)
