Steelers players have been giving back all month to help make Christmas brighter for families in the Pittsburgh area and beyond.
It all began with the team hosting Huddle for the Holidays, in conjunction with Convoy of Hope, at Acrisure Stadium.
The Steelers invited children and families from local organizations to join them for an evening filled with all they need for the holidays, from a hot meal, to toys, winter coats, shoes, socks, groceries and other necessities, as well as activities to bring Christmas joy.
Current and former Steelers players were lending a hand at an array of different stations, with wide eyed kids stunned to see them up close and personal.
“This is very important to be out here tonight,” said defensive tackle Cameron Heyward, who also had members of The Heyward House on hand volunteering. “It’s about serving our community. There are so many different kids that need our help. It’s special for them to be here. It’s about these kids and our community.
“We work with so many of the kids from the schools that are here. These are the kids that are doing so much good, but just need a little help. We are lucky to be a part of it.”
That wasn’t the only way the team has given back. Players have been hosting events, from shopping sprees to coat distributions and more, the holiday season has been packed with love.
Coach Mike Tomlin also hosted his annual turkey and food giveaway in conjunction with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. He was joined by his family, as well as Cameron Heyward, the Steelers Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee, and his son, Cal.
