Duncan and his relief team organized a Thanksgiving meal on the islands, feeding more than 10,000 people.
Michael Guerra, chief development officer of the San Antonio Food Bank, Tweeted that the Food Bank assisted Duncan in setting up the feast.

Who needs the triangle offense when you have the triangle distribution. The 21USVI Bad New Bears brought Thanksgiving to more than 10,000 this weekend. Best compliment: "You guys are known throughout the islands as the fastest and most well organized distributions." @safoodbank pic.twitter.com/ghTW81aztF
