Jets tackle takes time for charity mission close to his heart

Jets tackle Kelvin Beachum will take some time away from football on Tuesday when he goes to the Food Bank for New York City to prepare and serve meals to senior citizens as part of World Hunger Day.

It is part of a campaign by Beachum for World Hunger Day to raise awareness and money to fight hunger. Beachum is holding a match challenge for five food banks in places he has lived. He donated $5,000 each to food banks in New York, Texas (two), Florida and Pennsylvania and if his donation is matched he will double his donation.
