This year he made it a family affair by gathering his loved ones together to help support those in need during the holidays. For thanksgiving his family along with a few others in the community, hosted a free Thanksgiving dinner. They served the food to anyone in the area who needed a hot meal. People came to the school cafeteria to eat, but the incredible part was that they also delivered meals door-to-door! It's become a yearly tradition of giving back to feed others and #give10 during the holiday season! Go Browns!!!! That's exactly what we're talking about. Spread some holiday cheer by helping your neighbors and the people in your community. Thanks Zach! You're a First and Ten rockstar!
