Temple Football Spreads Holiday Cheer
11.28.14 | Football, Outreach
Earlier this week the Temple Football team took a break preparing for its game on Saturday against American Athletic Conference foe the University of Cincinnati (kickoff 12:00 noon at Lincoln Financial Field). During their time away from the field they helped make the holiday special for families within their community.
Â
To help spread the spirit of Thanksgiving, members of the team delivered food donations on Tuesday, November 25, to several local programs. After collecting canned goods and other food products, the team supplied them to Bright Hope Church, The Bethesda Project, which helps serve the homeless of Philadelphia, and St. John's Hospice, which gives men of Philadelphia a safe place to go.
Â
Overall, the team donated hundreds of canned vegetables and fruits, as well as dry products such as macaroni and cheese, cereal, and Ramen noodles. Each location was also given two turkeys and two hams for their food pantry.
Â
On Wednesday night, nine players shuttled up to Stenton Family Manor in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia to serve Thanksgiving dinner to 220 residents. Each year, Sonny DiCrecchio, the President/CEO of the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market, provides a Thanksgiving feast for the shelter's residence and the Temple football team has helped serve those meals over the past two seasons.
