Eugenie Bouchard knows how to keep her fans hooked, whether she’s smashing it on the tennis court or showing off her skills in the fast-paced world of pickleball. But this time, the buzz isn’t about her athletic prowess—it’s about her big heart. The tennis star is turning heads for a reason far beyond her professional achievements: her desire to give back to the community in a unique fashion.
The Canadian player started playing pickleball after failing to qualify for the US Open last year. Eventually, she started competing at a professional level joining many players who try to amalgamate their tennis skills on pickleball courts. But now, she seems to be taking a much-deserved from her professional duties and shifting her attention to some social work ahead of Christmas.
Taking to her Instagram story, Bouchard shared a string of pictures of herself as she participated in the Meals in Heels event organized by the Major Food Group. The event aims to prepare and package meals for underserved populations and inspire many others to join the initiative. In the pictures, Bouchard was seen wearing a Red-white Christmas Hat and a white Apron as she prepared the meal boxes to be served out.

But interestingly, this is not the only way the star player is enjoying the festive season.
