BRANDON INGRAM

After the event, Ingram spoke about giving back during the holidays.

He greeted the families, passed out the grocery bags, and even stopped to take pictures with families and children who were overjoyed to be next to the NBA star.

The event took place in Algiers at the Fischer Senior Community Center. Even with the gloomy and cold weather outside, the inside was filled with smiles and great cheer from all.

ZION AND THE ROOKIES

The Pelicans have been very active and visible in the community all season. Zion Williamson often hangs out with the kids at the Boys and Girls Club.

Rookies Dyson Daniels and E.J. Liddell were out with local children supporting youth basketball in the city. Acts of servitude like this go a long way to unifying the community and giving back to those in need.
