Jarrett Allen returns to community to take 25 kids Thanksgiving shopping

His charitable efforts Sunday may have been more impressive than his game Saturday – and he was less than 24 hours removed from a career night!

Jarrett Allen, all 6’11” of him was in Clinton Hill Sunday at Key Food on Myrtle Avenue where he brought 25 kids on a Thanksgiving shopping tour. Each kid got $100 —$30 more than last year’s tour in Jackson Heights. Each kid was accompanied by some family and equipped with a calculator, also supplied by the Nets center.

The tour is not just about charity. It’s an exercise in budgeting, teaching the next generation the importance of finances.
