Representatives of San Diego’s native son Norman Powell showed up at Lincoln High School last Saturday to do their annual Understand the Grind free Turkey Giveaway.
The free Turkeys were complimented with big boxes of food to help complete any Thanksgiving Day celebration.
Norman, of the NBA’s LA Clippers, is known for his generosity to his beloved Hornets and the community that helped to raise him.
“This is just a small token of our appreciation. We’ve been extremely blessed. It’s only right to share your blessing, so that’s what we do and will continue to do,” Sharon (Mom’s) Powell shared.
“You know how Norman is. You watched him grow up, and one of the reasons he wanted to succeed was so he could help our community,”she continued.
There was no pre-registration necessary.
At Thanksgiving time, come-as-you-are by foot or car, and get served by the friendly folks of Understand the Grind foundation and a host of volunteers including some Lincoln High students.
