This past weekend, Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist and humanitarian YG and his 4Hunnid Ways Foundation partnered with Believe in Giving (B.I.G) for a back-to-school drive in Inglewood.
The drive served families in need, providing them with essential resources to prepare for the upcoming school year. Resources included food boxes provided by the LA Mission, backpacks filled with school supplies, clothing from Ethika, and much more, with hotdogs, snow cones, and refreshments were also freely available to attendees.
Guests also got the chance to enter into a raffle giveaway, with several winners taking home prizes including a new laptop, a gaming chair, tickets to Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers games, and more. The drive provided over 2,000 backpacks and 2,000 boxes of food to families from the community in need. The crowd got to enjoy a special performance by Tommy the Clown dance group, who performed an electrifying hip-hop routine as well as petting and holding exotic reptiles, brought by Wildlife People.
Also in attendance were several elected officials including Los Angeles City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto and District 9 Council Member Curren D. Price Jr. The event concluded with a presentation of a certificate of recognition from theCity of Los Angeles, acknowledging the work YG has continuously done for his community, presented to his mother Shonee Jackson by the city officials in attendance.
