We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dikembe Mutombo, a towering presence both on and off the basketball court. His legacy extends far beyond his remarkable NBA career—Dikembe was a humanitarian at heart, devoted to improving lives in his native Congo and beyond. We were honored by his visit to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, where his commitment to helping neighbors was evident. His impact will live on through the many lives he touched. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and countless others inspired by his generosity.
