He tells 13 Action News that he is very fortunate and wants to spread the love.
"Some people call it giving back, I call it doing what my mother and father taught me to do. They always told me to help others in need," he said.
Kids from the Communities in Schools program received the supplies at the event at the Zappos Campus.
