CATERING TO YOUR EVERY NEED

As the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank (LARFB) has increased production and distribution to support ongoing disaster relief efforts following the LA wildfires, several groups of USC Football student-athletes have stepped up and helped sort fresh produce for those in need through recent NIL engagements with House of Victory.

Throughout the events, the House of Victory athletes were involved in several stages of LARFB’s process, including things like: prepping produce bags and delivering them to other volunteer stations, sorting fresh from spoiled produce and packing produce for distribution. In total, House of Victory athletes contributed 67 hours of service and sorted more than 42,500 pounds of produce including apples, citrus, celery, potatoes and yams.

“This city has done a lot for me and being in the position I am today, I think it’s only right to give back and show support to my community,” said LA native cornerback Marcelles Williams.

Freshman guard Kayleigh Heckel has been overlooked and underrated for most of her career. But that hasn't stopped her from pursuing her dreams. She channels that emotion, and that motivation into her K9 mentality every time she steps on the court.

“When I started playing basketball in elementary school, I was on an all-boys team. Between that, and playing in the backyard with my two older brothers, the years when I really learned the game and fell in love with it, I was playing alongside boys. No one ever took it easy on me, and it definitely got rough sometimes. I would get upset, but it pushed me to get better. That work ethic, that toughness is something I try to bring with me every time I step into the gym, whether for practice or a game, I’m always trying to bring that K9 mentality. 

The K9 mentality is believing that all I have is all I need. I’m moving forward, not focusing on the setbacks. I’m building my own reality, not living in the one others have created for me.

I want to inspire others to believe in themselves, just like I believe in myself. I want to inspire others to work hard to make themselves better every day, just like my family has inspired me to do. I want to bring that K9 mentality to everything I do.

I already have everything I need to achieve my dreams and goals, on and off the court. It’s the K9 mentality.”
