Community service is something we all should be doing but rarely make time to. Certainly, coaches and fans value players that give back to the community, and the Redskins organization has always been a strong franchise in this department (even with the losing seasons). With it being the holiday season, here's a list of all the Redskins players and all the charity work/foundations they work with. Special thanks to Matt Terl in helping fill in some of the holes with this list.
