As the rest of the world grapples with the fallout of a global pandemic and hospitals in the United States are starting to run low on crucial supplies, one member of the Los Angeles Lakers is doing what he can to help kids in his hometown of Flint, Michigan.
Starting early next week for at least the following six weeks, Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma has partnered with the local YMCA to provide approximately 550 meals per week for kids, according to The Athletic’s Bill Oram. The program will include a nightly dinner and a snack for kids. It isn’t the first time that Kuzma has tried to give back to his hometown of Flint.
This past summer, Kuzma partnered with LeBron James’ sports media company UNINTERRUPTED to provide a free basketball camp for kids that also included a year-long membership to the Flint YMCA. Meanwhile, James and his LeBron James Family Foundation are working to keep supporting the families who depend on non-academic programs from his I Promise Public School in Akron, Ohio.
