Bobby Wagner bought groceries for customers in West Seattle

Seattle Seahawks star middle linebacker Bobby Wagner spent Tuesday’s off day helping those in need.

Wagner volunteers with low-income families who live in tiny homes in the greater Seattle area, and he helped buy groceries and other necessities for many of those families at a Safeway in West Seattle on Tuesday.

 

“I went there to just bag some food for the tiny homes I’ve been a part of (for low income families) and it turned into something else,” Wagner said on Wednesday. “Fortunately I got out of there before all the cameras did.”

Wagner went on to say that he doesn’t like getting attention for these kind of acts, but that he does it simply to help out the people in need.

“I do it because there’s a lot of people out there that need a hand,” Wagner continued. “I don’t really want acknowledgement.”

Seattle’s star middle linebacker signed a three-year, $54-million dollar contract extension this past offseason, and is already using his hard-earned money to help out his community – one of many reasons the team invested in him in the first place.
