Teamwork across Dallas provides Thanksgiving meals to vulnerable families

Vulnerable families across Dallas were able to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal thanks to efforts by both the Dallas Mavericks and the Texas Rangers. Both teams hosted local distributions in Dallas in November to support Buckner families and clients with the upcoming holiday.

Dallas Mavs players Dwight Powell, Frank Ntilikina, JaVale McGee and Tim Hardaway Jr. helped provide full Thanksgiving meals and sides to 250 families served by Buckner.
 
The players were joined by Mascot MavsMan, ManiAACs, D-Town Crew and staff volunteers. Families received a frozen turkey, full set of sides and dessert, all packed in reusable bags provided by Kroger.
