Josh Hubbard, a guard on the Mississippi State basketball team, says his parents have always instilled in him the need to give back and taught him that life is bigger than one person.
Together, the family showcased those values, presenting $10,000 and a truckload of food Wednesday afternoon to the Ballas Family Community Kitchen.
