AS most of us are penning our wish lists and trimming the tree, there are thousands of families struggling just to put food on the table. A nourishing meal with family and friends is a holiday tradition that makes the season special. At The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation, we are committed to making the season brighter for families who might not otherwise be able to share a holiday meal.On Tuesday, November 29th, The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation will kick off its annual holiday campaign by participating in #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving.Since 2011, partnering with 27 local church and social service organizations (reflective of the jersey number I wear on the field), the Foundation’s Holiday Dinner Basket Surprise has helped put food on the tables of hundreds of families. With your help, we will raise funds to continue to spread the spirit of giving through our Holiday Dinner Basket Surprise, providing turkeys and all the trimmings to 275 families in the Big Easy and City of Brotherly Love!Here are a few simple ways you can help us make a big impact:Make a donation on #GivingTuesday.Join us as a volunteer for the Holiday Dinner Basket Surprise events.Help us get the word out on social media using @TheMJFoundation and the hashtag #GivingTuesday.Take photos demonstrating why you love our organization and post on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.Do something kind for another person.Your generosity and #GivingTuesday donation, will help us build our baskets and keep holiday traditions alive for 275 families in need.
