Los Angeles Clippers Join the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank to Provide Food Assistance
The Los Angeles Clippers team members, staff, and volunteers demonstrated an incredible commitment to fighting hunger again this year. This collaboration has become an annual tradition, culminating in two impactful initiatives: the annual Feed the Community event at the Kia Forum in Inglewood and a dedicated volunteer day at the Food Bank’s new City of Industry distribution center.
Terance Mann echoed these sentiments, highlighting the importance of these events: “It’s good to be able to give back. We’ve been here a long time, and being out here with our teammates and families just makes it more special.”
Clippers players were also in attendance, as were many staff members from the Clippers organization. Candace Rice, a Clippers staff member, described the experience: “It warms my heart to put a smile on people’s faces by giving them food they need for their families. This whole day filled my heart and spirit, and I’ll definitely be back to help again.”
The Kia Forum’s proximity to the new Intuit Dome, which serves as the Clippers’ new home, emphasizes the organization’s deep ties to the Inglewood community. This event demonstrated the Clippers’ commitment to giving back to the very neighborhoods they call home.
Beyond the Feed the Community event, the Clippers’ staff extended their support. On the Friday before the event, staff members volunteered at the Food Bank’s City of Industry warehouse, packaging thousands of food kits for families and individuals.
