With powerful partnerships with Kroger, Kendall Jackson Wines, the Dallas Police Department, and Acme Brick Company, Haley's mission to end hunger is more impactful than his role as the defensive leader during the Cowboys dynasty of the 90s.   

His organization plans to distribute as many as 3,500 additional meals during Christmas.    

One of the most feared defenders in NFL history, Charles Haley has turned into an amazing offensive player, passing his many blessings onto others.
