Atlanta’s Own 2 Chainz to Spread Holiday Cheer with Toy Drive and Lunch Bag Project
ATLANTA — Attention all Atlantans! Rap icon and beloved community figure, 2 Chainz, is once again set to enrich the lives of many in the heart of Atlanta through a heartwarming initiative that’s been going strong for seven years. This Saturday, prepare to witness and partake in the spirit of generosity as 2 Chainz and his spirited team at the Tru Foundation roll out their annual Toy Drive and Lunch Bag project.
With the holiday season in full swing, there’s a warm invitation to join hands at this incredible event, which is far more than just an opportunity to give; it’s a movement of love, unity, and community support. Set at the Russell Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurs, volunteers will gather from 9 a.m. until Noon to bring smiles and warmth to the lives of many local children and families.
A Collective Effort for Greater Good
2 Chainz, alongside his wife Kesha Ward Epps and their Tru Foundation, isn’t doing this alone. They’ve garnered an impressive lineup of partners, including Walmart, Emerging 100, Black Men in Tech, and the hometown heroes from the College Park Skyhawks. Together, they’re committed to making a significant positive impact during this festive period.
The Tru Foundation team, alongside a community of enthusiastic volunteers, aims to pack nourishing lunches for local shelters and collect a treasure trove of toys for the children facing treatments at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Hughes-Spalding. It’s all about sharing joy and spreading kindness.
Fun, Food, and Festivities for the Volunteers!
Event-goers won’t just be giving back; they’re in for a treat themselves. Organizers promise a day filled with festive music, delightful doughnuts, and refreshing beverages — setting the perfect tone for those who are giving their time and energy to such a noble cause.
Impacting Lives, One Toy at a Time
Taylor Edwards, the Executive Director of Tru Foundation, eloquently captures the spirit of the event, emphasizing that it “gathers all of our corporate and community partners to make a difference for kids.” Every child at the hospital will experience a little magic by receiving a toy upon admission, a thoughtful gesture sure to lift spirits high.
Leading by Example: Stay Tru to Your Community
Edwards, alongside 2 Chainz who, hails from College Park, believes deeply in staying connected to one’s community. They encourage everyone to stay tru by seeing beyond oneself and, whenever possible, donate time and kindness even when financial aid might not be possible. Their foundation firmly believes in, and practices, the mantra of giving back every chance they get.
So, whether you’re looking to embody the holiday spirit, spend a day filled with good deeds, or simply want to make a difference, this Saturday’s event is your chance to do all that and more. Join in this wonderful event and take part in spreading smiles and offering comfort because when we come together, genuine joy—and a bit of holiday magic—prevails.
