An estimated 500 men, women and children from the homeless community turned out on a chilly night. In addition to the meal, blankets, gloves, scarfs, and non-perishable items were also distributed. Some in the Titans group played games with kids.

"It seems like everybody here is thankful that we're here," Vrabel said. "Any time we can give of ourselves, and the resources that we have as an organization, as a team, as players, around the holidays and throughout the year, it is a great thing.

"We understand that there's a lot of other people that don't have the same gifts we've been given."

Titans general manager Jon Robinson was on hand, along with a large group from the front office.

Vrabel complimented the team's community relations staff -- Tina Tuggle, Susanna Nickell, Natalie Johnson and Josh Corey – for organizing the event.

Every Tuesday, the homeless gather under the bridge, located not far from where the Titans play on Sundays, and just a few miles from the team's practice facility in Metro Center.

The Titans loaded into buses, and went to work, as a team. While some members of the Titans organization served food, others worked to deliver items to the homeless. Roughly two dozens players were on hand, handing out food, clothing, and hugs.

"When you think about the gratefulness, this group is so grateful to have us out here," said Tuggle, the Titans Community Relations Director. "And it's not just because we're Titans, but because we are in the community and we are helping them. So they really appreciate it."
