Members of the Avalanche spent an afternoon serving up warm meals to people in need

With the NHL currently in a roster holiday freeze, players have some free time during the holidays to hang out with their family and friends, but some of the Avs players had some other things in mind for their down time.

Earlier this week, Colin Wilson and Sam Girard spent some time together at the Denver Rescue Mission where they served up warm meals to those in need.



It’s the season of giving and always an opportunity to give back to the community.

That’s not the only time they got out in the community during the holidays, either, as earlier this month they made their annual trip to the hospital to hang out with the young patients and surprise them with gifts.



It’s always awesome to see professional athletes use their free time to brighten someone else’s day.
