NBA player Isaiah Thomas, a Tacoma native and former Washington Huskies star, is donating more than 1,000 meals to those in the UW Medical Center community impacted by COVID-19.

The two-time NBA All Star will be donating the meals on April 7 and 14 at three main UW Medical Center locations: the main trauma center at Harborview, the University of Washington Medical Center on the UW-Montlake campus and the Northwest Hospital & Medical Center.
