Imagine being a young child and not being able to see your parent on Christmas Day. Imagine not being able to wake up each day without your parent by your side to guide you through life at such crucial ages. Memphis movers are extremely proud about the annual Angel Tree program in Memphis that takes place each Christmas and gives gifts to local children who have an incarcerated parent.
Memphis Grizzlies star Zack Randolph worked wonders this Christmas by distributing 500 turkeys and hams to families across Memphis. Randolph also hosted another food giveaway for local families at Hamilton High School. On December 7th, Randolph collaborated a Polar Express Event and a Christmas toy drive. He also joined with Tony Allen for the annual Shopping Spree for hundreds of Memphis children at a local Wal-Mart. As if all of that was not generous enough, Randolph paid for over 100 families’ electric bills so that their families could be warm during the cold winter season.
The locally famous basketball player explains how he had received gifts through the Angel Tree program when he was a child, which included toys, new clothes, and sneakers.
Grizzlies Vice President of Community Engagement and Executive Director of the Grizzlies Foundation, Diane Terrell, explained that, “he’s always looking for more ways, better ways that he can have an impact on kids in the city and it’s very sincere. A lot of the stuff he does is really under the radar. We only sometimes learn of it after the fact, so he’s not in it for any kind of self-aggrandizement, he’s in it for the real thing.”
Perhaps the most important thing that Memphis movers have seen Randolph do for Memphis children is help to educate and guide them to always do what is right and to study. If you are moving to Memphis, you may see Randolph throughout town and within the local community and schools helping to guide youth to the path to success.
