While there might be a handful of off-the-court restrictions in place across the 2020-21 regular season NBA schedule, that hasn’t prevented the Hornets from recently helping out the community in a big way thanks to Food Lion and some thrilling play on the hardwood.
Throughout April, the organization and Food Lion – the Official Hunger Relief partner of the Charlotte Hornets – collaborated to donate 1,000 meals to Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina for every dunk the Hornets accounted for across this time frame. On Wednesday, April 28th in Boston, the team threw down a monthly-game high of 11 slams, bringing the grand total to 78 for the month and 78,000 donated meals.
