VIDEO: Odell Beckham Jr. Donated 100 Blankets to Homeless Shelter in Cleveland
With the holiday season in full swing, many of us are in the spirit of giving back. One of these people is Odell Beckham Jr., who announced on Friday that he'll be donating 100 blankets to a Cleveland homeless shelter, the Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry's Men's Shelter.

The LMM thanked Beckham and shared a video on Twitter of the Browns receiver talking about wanting to help out the city of Cleveland for all the support they have given him throughout the season. The Browns players and organization just recently helped this ministry by donating $100,000 to help them rebuild homes.

It's great to see both Beckham and the Browns taking their focus off the football season in order to help the people supporting them. The feeling of giving back is irreplaceable.
Beckham's donation will, hopefully, go a long way for homeless people in Cleveland ahead of the winter.
