Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball is turning basketball points into pet food for families in need, pledging 250 meals for every point he scores this season through a partnership with the Humane Society of the United States. His early-season performance of 114 points has already generated 28,500 meals for pets in underserved communities.


The dynamic playmaker's latest community initiative supports the Humane Society's #MoreThanAPet campaign,

 which addresses the growing challenges many families face in providing for their pets. The program focuses on delivering essential resources, including pet food and veterinary care, to communities where access to these necessities is limited.


"Many families struggle with the costs of pet care and basic supplies," explains Ball, who has embraced the cause with characteristic enthusiasm. "Every point I score now helps keep pets with their families and ensures they're well-fed and healthy."



The initiative transforms Ball's on-court achievements into direct community impact. As the season progresses, his scoring prowess will continue to generate thousands of additional meals, creating a unique connection between athletic performance and community service. The program has already garnered support from fans and animal welfare advocates nationwide.


While Ball has a history of philanthropic work, this partnership represents his most ambitious charitable effort to date, combining his basketball career with his commitment to community service. Through this initiative, each basket he scores delivers more than just points on the scoreboard—it provides essential support to pets and families in need.
