Caitlin Clark is heading into her second WNBA season an an All-Star point guard for the Indiana Fever.

Over the past few years, Clark has skyrocketed to superstardom as one of basketball's brightest young stars. In her debut season as the WNBA's No. 1 overall pick, she broke multiple all-time league records, won Rookie of the Year and led the Fever to the franchise's first playoff appearance since 2016.

Clark is committed to putting in the on-court work before her second WNBA season. But, she's also putting in some important work off the court.

Earlier this week, the Caitlin Clark Foundation partnered with Hy-Vee to donate more than $300,000 to United States-based hunger relief organization Feeding America.

The donation will be distributed to 18 Feeding America partner food banks across the Midwest, according to the Des Moines Register.

Clark and the Fever will tip off their regular-season schedule with a matchup against the Chicago Sky on May 17. The team's final preseason contest will take place against the Atlanta Dream on Saturday afternoon.
