By: KDKA-TV News Staff
ERIE, Pa. (KDKA) - Steelers running back James Conner helped 200 families in Erie receive a traditional Thanksgiving meal.
The Erie native made a donation of 200 turkeys to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwestern Pennsylvania and it was enough to help them provide the meals to families at a food distribution event on Friday morning and afternoon.
"I'm sorry I can't be there personally, but my heart is in my hometown," said Conner in a video on the food bank's Facebook. "I'm thinking about you guys during tough times, and I wanted to show my gratitude. Happy holidays!"
Thank you, James Conner for recording this special message for the families at our Thanksgiving meal distribution today...
