Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins talked to Fox News Digital about what he's doing to help combat food insecurity in schools ahead of the NFL season.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has only been with the team for a few months, but he’s already making an impact on students returning to school. Cousins teamed up with Frito-Lay Variety Packs to help households pack a punch into lunchboxes and spread awareness about food insecurity across the U.S. Frito-Lay partnered with GENYOUth to help fight students by donating $300,000 to provide meal carts for American students.
Cousins told Fox News Digital he’s done a few programs in the past. 'It’s something at times you aren’t even aware of and it kind of surprises you when you realize that, ‘OK, there are people who wake up every day in this country and don’t know where they’re gonna get their next meal,’' he said. 'To be able to help kind of relieve that burden is a blessing.
It’s been a good transition. It’s an involved transition,' he told Fox News Digital. 'It’s not a small thing to move. As I said to an old coach, ‘There’s no easy way to move.’ As simple as I wanted it to be, it wasn’t simple. 'Thankfully, much of it is behind us. Our house in Minnesota sold. It was packed up. The moving truck arrived here. We’ve purchased a home here. We’re moved in here. There was a lot of change in the last six months.
The four-time Pro Bowler spent six seasons with the Vikings. He had 23,265 passing yards and 171 passing touchdowns. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
