True to their name, the Butchers invests into their community via a hunger relief program for the Chicago area. During the offseason, the team cordons off one entire city block near the stadium for a day of charity and volunteering. Donated food items discarded from manufacturers and retailers are accepted at one end of the street, and the food goes through several steps of sorting, repackaging, and labelling at various stations before being taken away for delivery at the final leg of the circuit. The Butcher's Block has been a focus of the team's offseason since before Juan Domine's arrival in Season 24, so he is not entirely sure who started the program.

In addition to being a fulfilling charity event, it is also an impactful way for fans to interact with the team while simultaneously devoting their time towards the volunteer effort. This aspect of the event, Chicago Butchers Meat 'n' Greet, is Domine's favorite part of the day. Being able to chat with the burgeoning fan base of the Butchers is a constant reminder of why Domine feels right at home in the city of Chicago. He has noticed that the event has grown larger by the year--is this due to the success of the charity drive or the team's on-field performance? Domine hopes that the fans will continue to show up in droves even in the team's leaner seasons.

Maui would definitely go serve some time at the animal shelter, because he loves pets, especially dogs and puppies. He was somewhat of an animal rights activist when he was younger. He was very outspoken in his community towards animal abuse, and it broke his heart to see a sad dog in an abusive household. He sometimes felt like he had more compassion towards dogs than he did humans. I'm sure Maui would love to bring his teammates along, and I mean, he is playing for the Bird DOGS, so that name fits perfectly with the things Maui cares about. One thing Maui also loves is doing good deeds for others and seeing their faces light up and smile. The best feeling is when someone approaches him and recognizes him and asks him to take a picture. "Hey, aren't you that player on the Birddogs? Could I get a photo?" The local Dallas fans recognize him almost instantly. Anyone that's that monstorus and with that much hair could instantly get recognized as him. So, Maui loves to work with homeless people too, especially during blanket and sock drives, getting enough clothes to the people who need it, and helping out the unluckier members of our community.

Your GM has asked everyone on the team to spend some time contributing to the community over the holidays. Where or how would your player spend their time volunteering? Would we find them in a children’s hospital meeting some kids, serving meals at the soup kitchen, or somewhere else? Would they volunteer alone, or with their teammates?

My guy Mark is a big fan of the holidays, with Christmas being his favorite. There are a lot of options out there for ways to give back to the community in need around our great city of Yellowknife. He would team up with some of his boys on the Wraiths and put together a sports camp for local under privileged kids. Do a week long camp, Monday through Friday, Eight a.m. to Five p.m. Provide breakfast, snacks, lunch and a dinner there or a dinner to take home and eat with the family. Get them out there doing activities to build team work, athletic skills, positive attitude and learn a little work ethic. Of course the main sport we would focus on is football, because that is what we know best. But, we would for sure offer up all the other popular sports, basketball, soccer, baseball and a couple of other obscure ones. He feels strongly that this is something he is passionate about that not everyone can offer. They also offer scholarships to help kids in need who want to play one of these team sports and their family can not afford it. The goal is get the kids excited and involved in something they would otherwise miss out on. On the last day they invite all the families out to watch a demonstration from the kids and then have a dinner for all.

Ever since he was a young child working in his family's restaurant in south Minneapolis, Doy Fieri has seen the importance of giving back to the community. Wherever he has been, from his time in Tijuana and Arizona, to his current home of Philadelphia, he has always tried to help out the less fortunate in the one way he knows how - by feeding them. During the holiday season, Doy works with local chefs and restaurants to put on multiple meals for charity. This year, his big event was the Fieri First Responders Food Fest, in which he invited families of first responders to the Liberty Stadium as he and 9 local chefs in Philadelphia cooked a giant holiday feast for them. In addition to the meal, Fieri also organized a charity dinner put on by the same group of chefs, but this time invited members of the community to come and pay for a seat. They had multiple silent auction items and other ways to gather donations (one was a private wood-working lesson with the one and only @ShnarlyDude , Gary Goodman!). All in all, Fieri was able to raise over $250,000 for Philadelphia first responder charities.

As a child he was brought up to believe that the way he would make an impact in people's lives was through food. When he became an athlete he thought that his dreams of doing so would be put on hold. Doy didn't realize that through his new found celebrity he could still help people with food.

It's the holiday season, which means it's time for Tyron Shields to spread some love and cheer throughout the community. Tyron remembers being a kid, watching football and hoping to meet his favorite players. Even just getting a high five from one of the football stars from Tyron's childhood would make his entire year. Tyron is finally becoming one of those big names in football, and he's getting a decent amount of fans. He knows how much even a small gesture like a high five would mean to a kid, and it takes him next to no time or effort, so he tries his best to never brush off making someone's day. During the holiday season he goes all out though. He's travels around to all of the hospitals visiting people that are going through a rough time in their life. He goes around to homeless shelters, providing meals and good spirits to lift up the less fortunate. He also enjoys spending a day at animal shelters, waiving all adoption fees for people that are wanting to adopt any animals for a day, so long as he and qualified professionals make sure that the prospective pet parent is qualified and has good intentions! There's only so much one person can do to make positive change, but Tyron certainly tries to do his part.
