As a way to thank fans for embracing him so quickly in Cleveland, the Browns’ Odell Beckham Jr. donated a supply of fleece blankets to Ohio’s largest homeless shelter.
In early December, Cleveland staffers visited Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry’s men’s shelter, which serves more than 350 men per night, according to USA Today’s Nancy Armour. Beckham wasn’t able to go, however, as he was en route to Arizona for the Dec. 15 Cardinals game.
In his stead, OBJ sent along 100 “large, plush, fleece blankets,” each folded and tied with a ribbon.
“Man, some people don’t even have a place to keep themselves safe and warm,” Beckham told USA Today.
