A couple weeks after the release of the critically acclaimed documentary, “Basketball County: In the Water,” for which Durant served as executive producer, the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation helped give residents a temporary helping hand to fill their refrigerators and pantries with food for at least two weeks.

Through a collaboration with local elected officials and social agencies, local philanthropist, Wanda Durant,  the basketball star’s mother, stepped in to help families who are facing a crisis in need in their home community.

“This says a lot about the character of the people of Prince George’s County,” said At-Large County Councilman Calvin Hawkins, who was joined by a group of his fellow elected officials, including his fraternity brothers from Omega Psi Phi.

There were positive interactions between the mostly African American community and the County Police as the social healing was temporarily enforced by all who were attending.

Fire Chief Tiffany Green was able to join in the County’s unifying respite in one of few public appearances, since she was minted the first Black woman in her position.
