Ohio State offensive tackle Thayer Munford recently expressed on Twitter that he wanted to give back to his community.

The Buckeyes' projected starting left tackle backed up his words with his actions on Friday, when he visited Whittier Elementary School in Massillon, Ohio, to pass out bags of food as part of the Stark County Hunger Task Force's Backpack for Kids program.

Munford, who moved to Massillon in 2016 to live with Massillon Washington High School football coach Nate Moore and his family, knows what it is like to face childhood adversity, having grown up with a steady father figure in his life and surrounded by neighborhood crime in Lincoln Heights, Ohio.

Now, Munford is doing his part to give back to children who might be facing adversity of their own.
