Auburn Tigers' defensive lineman Jordan Crawford has opened a community resource center called the Greedy House in North Titusville near Memorial Park. The spot at 426 Avenue South used to be a coffee house, and Crawford funded it mostly with his name, image, and likeness earnings. From football, it's a free spot for locals to gather, work, or get help. Crawford grew up in the area and went to AH Parker High School before heading to Auburn. He started giving back during his senior year with programs to guide younger kids through college recruiting that led to book drives and events building up to this full center. The place offers public computers with printing for job apps, homework, or research. There's also a pantry with meal kits, hygiene items, and essentials.

Crawford says giving back to his community feels great for kids and adults alike. Also thanks to our sponsor for supporting this episode. Some chase peace. I put my head in it. S-O-L-I-SoliPillow.com
