Vince Wilfork retired after last season and has planned on throwing a tailgate party for his fans Thursday night at Gillette Stadium for the Patriots opener. That was understandably canceled by Vince due to the best of reasons.

The former offensive lineman decided to stay home in Houston and help out the victims of Hurricane Harvey, passing out food, supplies and money to thousands affected.
