Boston Celtics rookie Grant Williams announced on Monday that he will donate 100 burritos from Chipotle to the New England Baptist Hospital to help feed local healthcare professionals.
NBA on TNT reporter Allie LaForce challenged Williams to participate in “Project FRONTLINE,” a charity whose mission is to help the reeling restaurant industry and to also to feed healthcare workers at hospitals across the country.
“I accept [the challenge]. I will be sending over 100 burritos to the New England Baptist Hospital in Boston,” Williams said. “We need more help so I’m going to challenge not only Tacko Fall but Romeo Langford in joining me and donating burritos to the New England Baptist Hospital to thank the healthcare workers who are working night in and night out for us.”

Several players and teams across the NBA have joined together to help support those deeply affected by the coronavirus pandemic and Williams is the latest example of those efforts.
