Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Jeremy Lin and coach Kelvin Sampson reached out to Houston community. They joined the efforts of Kids’ Meals of Houston, a community partner of the Rockets organization that provides meals to homes of families in need. After concerning shortages for more than a hundred families, the Jeremy Lin Foundation and the Houston Rockets collaborated to provide more food. Families showed much appreciation as Lin and Sampson handed large bags filled with Thanksgiving provisions made possible through the Jeremy Lin Foundation. Sentiments of gratitude were mutual as Lin showed consistent enthusiasm for photos with fans, revealing that he was as much of a fan of the community as they were of his. “There are a lot of things people take for granted every day and the Foundation tries to encourage a grateful attitude during Thanksgiving and after, which is just as important,” Lin said.
