Lil Baby graced Atlanta’s West End Mall for an event to remember!
As students headed back to school in his hometown of Atlanta, the 27-year-old emcee teamed up with Goodr to offer 3,000 local kids a day filled with music, games, carnival rides, free food, backpacks, school supplies and giveaways free hair.
Goodr, which is a sustainable food waste management platform that uses technology to reduce food waste and fight hunger, expressed excitement to work together with the “Drip Too Hard” rapper once again to bring joy to the local children in the city who helped raise him.
“We are grateful to Lil Baby for his continued determination to give back to his community,” said Goodr CEO Jasmine Crowe. “It’s an honor to continue to team up with such a household name to ease some of the ongoing financial burdens people face.”
From the beginning, Lil Baby has never shied away from his work as a philanthropist. As previously reported by REVOLT, the “We Paid” lyricist recently teamed up with prominent local business owner Lemont Bradley to hire 100 people under the age of 21 across the city of Atlanta.
“We are looking to provide 100 jobs for teens and young adults in the metro Atlanta area,” Lil Baby and Bradley said in a joint statement about the news. “With the crime rate surrounding fraud, robbery and even murder being so high, we are looking to provide a positive outlet and income stream for those looking for an income.”
Additionally, Lil Baby and Bradley said they are “looking forward to helping grow the city’s economy,” while also working toward “lowering the city’s crime rate.”
All kids in attendance at Sunday’s (August 7) back-to-school event were treated to free goodies from Foot Locker, including new shoes and clothes.
