JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker is supporting local schoolchildren following the team\u2019s first victory of the season.<\/p>\n
The effort included preparing 500 bags of food for regional schools and donating to Blessings in a Backpack through the Travon Walker Foundation.<\/p>\n
The initiative targets the weekend nutrition gap that students face when school-provided meals are unavailable. The foundation\u2019s effort combines direct food distribution with personal support for local youth.<\/p>\n
Walker personally assisted in packing the 500 food bags designated for local students. In addition to assembling the items, Walker penned an encouraging message included in every bag.<\/p>\n
Walker spoke to Action News Jax about his involvement, saying that giving back fills his own cup.<\/p>\n
