The Cowboys' Travis Frederick hopes to block out children's hunger

FRISCO, Texas -- As a rookie in 2013, Dallas Cowboys center Travis Frederick went to a food pantry to feed the less fortunate and was struck by the number of children he saw.

Ever since, children's hunger has been his cause.

Two weeks ago Frederick hosted the Taste of the Cowboys event, which benefited the North Texas Food Bank. This week, through his foundation -- Travis Frederick's Blocking out Hunger Foundation -- he announced he will provide 200 kids, who rely on free or reduced lunches during the school year, a box of food a week for the 10-week summer break.
