On Wednesday, November 11 as the nation celebrated Veterans Day, the Spurs Organization in conjunction with Mercy Chefs honored the military by distributing 1,000 boxes of food.
“On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E) and Mercy Chefs hosted a “Feed the Force” volunteer event at Frost Bank Center, distributing 1,000 grocery boxes to invited veteran and active-duty military families. Each box will contain ingredients to help provide up to 50 meals per family.”
More than 100 SS&E
staff, Spurs Season Ticket Members and USAA volunteers helped pack and distribute groceries to families from Fort Sam Houston, Randolph and Lackland. Each box contained ingredients to help provide up to 50 meals per family.
The event is part of “Feed the Force,” Mercy Chefs nationwide initiative to address food insecurity among active-duty military members, veterans and their families. And no better place to to find military families than San Antonio, Military City, U.S.A.
The Spurs players and coaches were not present for the event as they were completing a four-game road trip in Chicago against the Bulls. As a preview of that game, I was invited to join Jeff Garcia on his Spurs In Focus podcast.
Garcia is a wonderful host and has developed a unique show in which he blends Spurs stats, opinions, pop culture, and community effortlessly. I had a blast and dropped a mention for those of you all that join me day after day on the OT.
The Spurs completed the road trip bringing the winning streak to 10 games. There was a struggle in the first half as the Bulls shot over 80% from the floor and the arc, but they fought for 48 minutes and pulled off the W.The good guys head back to host the Golden State Warriors in Emirates Cup competition.
Go Spurs Go!
