Harrison Helps Homeless

Josh Harrison makes a sizable donation as he leaves Pittsburgh via free agency:

They didn’t see any reason to move everything back home to Cincinnati. They didn’t want to put it in storage and move it wherever Harrison signs this offseason. They didn’t want to sell it or even give it away to someone who would. Finally, they settled on a solution.

“We just wanted to make sure that those who need it had an opportunity to get it,” Harrison said.

That giving spirit ultimately led Harrison and Brittney back to their house last weekend, when they donated a truckload of furniture, supplies and more to Pittsburgh’s Light of Life Rescue Mission, which serves the city’s homeless and hungry.

Before leaving, the Harrisons found one more way to make a difference in the Pittsburgh community.

“That was home for us for the past however-many years,” Harrison said in a phone interview this week. “Considering where we were, we were like, ‘Man, we know there are people in Pittsburgh that can use it.’ It was just a matter of finding somebody.”

I suspect Harrison will always be welcomed warmly when he returns as a visiting player.
