HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- An NFL superstar and a NBA superstar came home this week to help those in need.
Randy Moss and OJ Mayo were in Huntington Tuesday morning to distribute food and personal care items as part of the “Feed the Children” program.
The pair spent much of the morning at the AD Lewis Center helping nearly 800 families.
On Wednesday, they will be in Charleston at the Union Ministries for another giveaway starting at 9 a.m.
The 1600 families, who were pre-identified, are receiving a 25-pound box of food, a 10-pound box of personal care items, and a box of Avon products.
According to “Feed the Children,” one in three children in Huntington and one in four children in Charleston are considered impoverished.
Moss, who is from Rand, currently plays in the NFL for the New England Patriots.
Mayo, who is from Huntington, currently plays in the NBA for Memphis Grizzlies.

Randy, I watched you play ball when you were a kid. My son played midget league also, So.Chas, and your coach was a good friend of mine. You were a good kid fighting a hard battle in Rand. You think a lot of us looked down on you and that was not true. We sincerely wanted the best for you, and knew you had talent. I am glad you came home, and I thank you for helping the people in this area, Huntington, who cannot provide for themselves. Same to OJ Mayo. However, Randy, we all in out infinite wisdom sometimes want to kick ourselves in the butt for making a statement or doing something we shouldnt. I know you fought hard, and it made u a better man. It hurt as a child, when it shouldnt have. But I, as a West Virginian are proud you are from here, and glad you come home to help people or visit family and friends. I hope you remember there were a LOT of us rooting for you whether you believed it or not. Bythe way, I am a football MOM, not a dad, but still was for you. Thank you.

I am a Christian....to groupie mothers you have no idea and I didnt broadcast my daughters business or give a name he done something wrong and want something in return not hardly but be careful how you judge because that is wrong and you are wrong about us. I dont want or need anything I paid the bill Mr Mayo ran up I never once ask for money but he knew what he did and didnt once offer either but you know what thats ok a blessing was given she found out how he was and moved on very quickly money is not everything and not something she looks for in a guy thank God for that as well she sees past that and looks inside....all is good and you dont really know him ask him what happened in Fluid when it was opened and he was in town in the back wow....and you say im not a Christian. Yes I give everyday you dont know what I do or what I take care of for people and never do I ask for anything in return nothing its all in love....you dont know me at all!!!
