CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O’Neal has used a day off to help distribute holiday toys and turkeys.

He handed out boxes with Thanksgiving meal fixings on Sunday at the Cleveland Boys & Girls Club headquarters. O’Neal also posed for photos with about 400 families.

Plus, he made a stop at a suburban Toys “R” Us store, where he donated $1,000 to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. O’Neal is the official spokesman for this year’s Toys for Tots drive to benefit needy children.
