The Miami HEAT, alongside PepsiCo, TD Bank, FedEx Express, and Comcast, hosted a contactless drive-through food and gift distribution to make the holidays brighter for local students and families from Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS). Twelve students, identified from underprivileged areas, received a holiday gift bag from FedEx, a subscription for eight months of internet service, and a Chromebook laptop from Comcast, JBL headphones, toys, and other items from HEAT partners.
Families also received meals from a local Black-owned business, Shuckin and Jivin Chicken and Seafood Restaurant, provided by PepsiCo as part of Pepsi Stronger Together – a national initiative to empower and engage communities around the country by providing tailored programming and resources that bring people together.
