Donovan Mitchell donation supports student meal program during closures in Utah school district

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz announced today that Donovan Mitchell is helping students in Granite School District obtain a healthy meal at no charge while schools are participating in a closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As we all navigate the challenges that have arisen with COVID-19, there are many people impacted. My mom’s career in education made me value children and the importance of academics, and I want to make sure that kids can continue to eat a meal while they can’t go to school.

“Our community is resilient and unified, and seeing how people have come together during this time makes me proud to represent this great state,” said Mitchell, who made the original announcement nationally via ABC Good Morning America today.
