I once won a participation trophy in kindergarten! What you guys want to give me?

This is truly amazing. I hope that county helps the surrounding counties too. I saw a tweet that stated most the county's neighbors are just as bad.

Dammit. I was already emotional enough after hearing burrow at the awards but this is a while different level. I'm glad to contribute to this which is a cause I am behind 100%. Incredible job tiger fans. Just amazing.

Potential endorsement/spokesperson sponsors should take note of the power of Joe and line up to pay him big bucks once he goes pro.

I think his comment meant well and he is correct. I gave to Athens and I always give to BR and my kids do community service with Baton Rouge Food Bank so we know the need. I believe he meant charity begins at home not knocking Athens.

Regardless as someone else posted the North Shore Food Bank and requested people support it in addition to Athens so all of us on here that are able support what we can and just don’t forget about your own neighbors who may not be able to or too embarrassed to come forward and admit they need a bit of a helping hand.

And to everyone in this thread I recommend reading J.D. Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy a 2016 NY Times bestseller. A great book about this exact subject and this exact location. Soon to be a Ron Howard movie.
