Grizzlies help families in need for Martin Luther King Day of Service
Katherine Flee helps load cars at a food giveaway Friday, Jan. 15, outside FedExForum hosted by the Memphis Grizzlies to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a day of service. Because the Grizzlies are on the road, the players and coaches were unable to participate in the community event that provided 1,200 local families with a two-week supply of food and household necessity items, books and school supplies on Friday.

The Grizzlies partnered with FedEx, Feed the Children and the Women’s Foundation to help provide food, household items and school supplies to 1,200 families in need.
