Edmunds inspired to give back - Steelers.com - Steelers.com

Terrell Edmunds recently released a children's book, 'My Brother's Keeper – What This Means to Me,' along with his brothers, Trey and Tremaine Edmunds.

Little did he know how the book would touch lives that he never could have imagined it would.

Renae Johnson, who lives in Pittsburgh but is the CEO and Founder of My Brother’s Keeper Outreach Center in Houston, Texas, heard about the book and thought it would be a perfect tie in to buy as a gift for the children they serve for next Christmas. She reached out regarding purchasing books, and the conversation turned to what her organization is doing to help the people in Houston and throughout areas of Texas, who were devastated by the effects of winter storm Uri, which devastated the area, ruining many people's homes due to burst pipes and other issues.

My Brother's Keeper Outreach Center held a 'Pack a Truck for Texas' event in McKeesport, Pa., this weekend, and when Edmunds learned about it, he wanted to help.

"It's all about giving back, for me and my family, just because we know we are blessed to be in the position we are in today," said Edmunds. "The more you give back, the more you help people, that is more than anything you can give. All the time, trying to help and give back, is something my family tries to pride ourselves on."

On Saturday, Edmunds joined other volunteers packing two trucks full of water, non-perishable food including can goods, pasta, microwaveable items and snacks, as well as diapers and baby wipes and personal hygiene items, which will leave the Pittsburgh area for Houston on Sunday.

"I know a lot of people in Texas," said Edmunds. "You don't want to see that happen to anyone's home, to have anyone have their home destroyed like that. Nobody wants to see that. If that was you, you would want someone to help you. To have the ability to be able to give back and help the best way we can, anything can help. I just wanted to help out."
