Nets, Key Food donate more than 8,000 pounds of food to Brooklyn families in need
The Brooklyn Nets are already in the offseason, having missed out on the playoffs for a second straight year, but that did not deter members of the organization from taking time out of their vacation to give back to the borough.
Last week, center Justin Hamilton, the Nets’ dance team the Brooklynettes and employees from Key Food volunteered and served lunch at St. John’s Bread and Life, a food pantry at 795 Lexington Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The April 20 Celebratory Lunch was held in conjunction with a more than 8,000-pound donation to Brooklyn families in need from the Nets and Key Food’s charity the Key Food Charity Stripe Initiative.
