Former Seahawk Richard Sherman pays off school lunch debt for Tacoma kids

Former Seahawk Richard Sherman paid $20,000 of lunch debt for students in the Tacoma School District, according to the NFL Players Association (NFLPA). He also helped cover debt for students in Santa Clara, California.

This comes just more than a week after Sherman helped re-stock the shelves of the Maple Valley Food Bank and two others in Washington state through his Blanket Coverage Foundation.

Sherman is known for his rapid response charity acts, like sharing and donating to a Compton Pop Warner football team’s GoFundMe page in order to help them raise enough money to attend the National Youth Football Championship in Florida.

He was recently honored for his volunteer work with a Week 11 NFLPA Community MVP award.

It is just damn sad that in the richest country in the history of the world, we have children that can not afford to have lunch at school.
