BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Bills hosted their annual Thanksgiving Blitz at FeedMore WNY on Tuesday, which provides 600 food-insecure families with Thanksgiving essentials.

"We pour a lot into the team, and they're giving back, I love it," said Kenny Smith who received food.

Former Bills players Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Jeff Nixon, Marlo Perry and Lou Piccone were on hand loading food into hundreds of cars. Each vehicle got a bag with a turkey in it, and a tote packed with rolls, pies, and canned vegetables.
