The Mavs and members of the Armed Forces prepared 5,000 meals Nov. 6 at the North Texas Food Bank which will be distributed to students at more than 330 schools across North Texas as part of Hoops For Troops Week and Hoops For Troops Commitment to Service.
Hoops For Troops Week is a collaborative initiative between the NBA, Department of Defense, and USO. Teams and their current and former players partner with the USO, local installations, and a variety of military- and veteran-serving organizations for several activities, including leadership seminars, community service events, and basketball-focused fitness activities.
Men and women of the Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth teamed up with members of the Mavs’ corporate office, the Mavs Dancers, and the Mavs ManiAACs to pack meals for the Food 4 Kids program.
