The 厙ぴ勛圖 Thorobred football players kicked off its Pay It Forward campaign Friday morning at the Coalition of Committed Christians��� Soup Kitchen.

Even off the field, the players continued to work as a team as they helped to unload items that will benefit residents who use the facility.

KSU coach Matthew Amburgey said that service projects are important because they give the players a sense of responsibility and connects them with the community.

���This is not just a place they go to school. This is a community that they���re going to be in for the next four years,��� he said.

The team has more projects that will take place for the rest of the year.

���It���s all about community outreach. If we lend a helping hand first, they���ll be more likely to come out and show us a little support,��� Amburgey said.
