Humphrey said it’s a cause that’s close to his heart.

“Growing up, I always helped out on Thanksgiving, we’d go and provide meals for families, did it throughout college, too,” he said. “So, at any point when you can, if you’re able to — being able to done things like that it’s a huge blessing to other people.”
