The NBA has suspended the league last week because of Coronavirus concerns. Since then, a lot of NBA players and teams have come forward to help the people affected by the pandemic. LA Lakers star Kyle Kuzma is the latest addition to this list. Kyle has decided to give something back to his hometown of Flint, Michigan in these hard times.

The 24-year-old LA forward announced Wednesday night that he is partnering with the Michigan YMCA. This partnership aims to donate meals to seniors/elderly being affected by the coronavirus in the area, as reported by The Athletic’s Bill Oram.

Bill further confirmed that Kuzma’s program with the YMCA “will provide dinner and a snack nightly starting March 23 and will run at least six weeks”. This program will provide over 550 meals every week.
