Bucks’ Michael Redd donates 150 Thanksgiving dinners

Milwaukee Bucks star Michael Redd (shown above posing for a picture with a recipient) took time out from rehabbing from knee surgery to hold his annual holiday tradition of distributing 150 Thanksgiving meals to families in need. The donation was made at the House of Peace, 1702 W. Walnut St. This was the eighth straight year Redd has provided holiday food baskets and turkeys to the needy. During the food giveaway, Roundy’s Foods, one of the sponsors of the Redd effort, made a donation to the House of Peace (pictured at left).
