CANTON, Ohio —The Pro Football Hall of Fame is teaming up with a company that provides prepackaged food for the airline industry in a nationwide effort to feed families in need during the pandemic.

“Project Isaiah” has been delivering over 250,000 free boxed meals per week to those affected by this health crisis. The project has also saved hundreds of jobs.

Hall of Famer and Middletown native Cris Carter, who often went hungry growing up in Dayton, immediately became involved after learning about the project.

Carter spoke with Spectrum News 1 about the project and what it means to him.
