On Tuesday, March 14th, The Alpharetta Raiders Football Team donated items and assembled lunches for 40 men at a downtown night shelter. This shelter is open from October through the end of March and local groups provide hot meals as well as bags with breakfast and lunch items for the men to take with them the next morning. At this shelter the men are referred and must show up each night or risk losing their spot. They are given a safe and warm place to stay, a hot shower, and some groups even provide haircuts and foot hygiene. The hope is to give these men a step up to getting back on their feet after falling on hard times. This is the second year that the Raiders football team has provided lunches as a small way of giving back.
