Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has formed the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation, a nonprofit that aims to reduce homelessness in Los Angeles.
Bryant will hold a news conference Tuesday at My Friend's Place, a nonprofit resource center that offers free emergency services to about 1,600 homeless people a year, according to its website.
Bryant will explain the initiatives he has planned to reduce homelessness, create permanent housing and provide educational and career resources, which will include raising funds, improving services and working in conjunction with My Friend's Place.

Now that's a player doing something positive for the community. We need more multi-millionaire athletes / entertainers giving back to the community in a positive and meaningful way. Go Kobe...glad u r putting your money where your mouth is. Unlike thousands of churches and church goers that are talking the talk but not walking the walk. This is the sort of thing churches should be doing on a mass scale.

Kobe's trying to make a good name for himself. Nothing wrong with that...
