Athletes serving in the community during COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on everyone. Millions have lost their jobs and some can’t see their loved ones. To help local communities cope with the changes that COVID-19 has brought, Drake University student-athletes are offering their time to go grocery shopping for people who may not be able to leave their house.

First-year Drake University football player Joey Lukrich has been taking groceries to people around his neighborhood since the pandemic began.

“Ever since I got back from school, my mom and I have put ourselves out there to help as much as possible,” Lukrich said.
