Cincinnati Reds rookie outfielder and Raleigh native Josh Hamilton was home for the holidays and spent part of the time at the Durham Rescue Mission.

“On a day like this, where family is really important, to get together and have a meal for you and games for the kids and things like that, and just bring those families together is really important,” Hamilton said.

Before spending Thanksgiving with his family, Hamilton mingled with volunteers and other guests at the mission’s Thanksgiving feast for the poor.

To those battling drug addiction, Hamilton said hope is never lost.

The former Athens Drive High School standout has been an open book about his past drug addiction and recovery.

The Durham Rescue Mission plans to have Hamilton back in January to share his story.
