The Brooklyn Nets continue to go the extra mile for those in their community.
On Saturday, the team announced a major donation that hade been made earlier in the week, tweeting:
This week we donated 14,000 pounds of food from our arena to City Harvest, Food Bank for New York City, and The Campaign Against Hunger. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have been honored to work beside these organizations and together feed more than 30,000 New Yorkers.
Earlier in the month, it was reported Nets governor Joe Tsai had decided to pay the part-time Barclays Center staff through the end of the year, which would cost him an estimated $10 million.
