April 23, 2019 – The Charlotte Hornets Foundation today donated $20,000 to Friendship Trays as part of its Hunger Grant. The surprise donation was made while a group of more than 20 Hornets employees volunteered with the organization, which is the only nongovernmental Charlotte-based organization that delivers healthy meals to elderly and infirm members of the Charlotte community members in their home.
“Friendship Trays plays a vital role in our community and we are pleased to have this opportunity to offer them our support,” said Hornets President & Vice Chairman Fred Whitfield. “Hunger is an important issue facing so many of our neighbors, and Friendship Trays does tremendous work ensuring that home-bound individuals get healthy meals and see smiling faces.
