LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville men's basketball is set to embark on a "Week of Giving" with three separate community-focused initiatives in conjunction with three straight home games between Dec. 14-20 as the holiday season approaches.
Â
The first event will be the Kroger Food Drive benefiting the UofL campus community at Wednesday's home game against Western Kentucky at 9 p.m. ET. In a partnership between Kroger and the Commonwealth Credit Union Cardinal Cupboard, on-site staff will collect non-perishable food items and hygiene products at all entrances of the KFC Yum! Center.
Â
The "Week of Giving" continues Saturday against Florida A&M at 2 p.m. with the 12th annual Kyle's Korner Toy Drive led by former Cardinal star Kyle Kuric. New or lightly used toys will be collected at entrances, with donations split between Home of the Innocents and those impacted by the flooding in eastern Kentucky earlier this year.
Â
The collection is in association with Kyle's Korner for Kids, the community outreach established in 2011 by the former Cardinal Kuric while a UofL student. Kuric, who has been playing professional basketball for nine seasons and is currently with FC Barcelona in Spain, helped the Cardinals reach the 2012 Final Four (later vacated) as a senior.
Â
The week-long community campaign comes to a close with a Winter Clothing Drive against Lipscomb at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 20. The Cardinals and the KFC Yum! Center will come together to collect winter clothes at the arena entrances and donate to local community members in need.
