Every Washington Wizards player and coach will attend a Thanksgiving food giveaway Saturday, Nov. 14, at Martha's Table at The Commons in Southeast D.C.
The event, called Thankful Meals, runs from 1 to 4 p.m. and serves Ward 7 and 8 residents. Giant Food will distribute 750 turkeys, 500 pies and 750 reusable bags. The Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation will donate more than $25,000 in Giant Food gift cards, according to an announcement first reported by El Tiempo Latino.
The Wizards' roster this season includes four-time All-Star guard Trae Young, 2026 No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa and Anthony Davis. Head coach Brian Keefe leads the staff. The team went 17-65 last season before overhauling its lineup.
Monumental Basketball, the Wizards' parent organization, called Thankful Meals an annual initiative.
Attendees can also shop at Martha's Table Market, a free market where each person selects fresh fruits, vegetables and pantry staples. Martha's Table, which has served D.C. for 45 years, runs education, health and youth programs in Ward 8.
The Wizards host the Houston Rockets on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 7 p.m. at Capital One Arena.
