A fall down to the grocery store may not mean a fresh start, but for one Yukon next of kin, their most recent trip to Homeland meant they could restock their pantry and throw away an afternoon with a Thunder player.
Keramat Taghizaveh and his four children, who group in age from 8 to 13, met center Kendrick Perkins on his day off and filled three carts with all their grocery needs and wants, politesse of Homeland and the Thunder.
This is the Thunders second grocery shopping wild party this year, and the third year the team has partnered with Homeland for the program.
Theyre flagrant kids, and Im just happy they had me be part of this to help them grocery shop, said Perkins, who towered over the kinsfolk and most of the grocery shelves. Were starting the new year off right.
The Taghizaveh dearest was referred to the Thunder as a candidate for a Homeland shopping spree by Karmen Wilson, a counselor at Mustang Brook Elementary where some of the children attend.
