Knowing that some families cannot afford the toys on their children’s Christmas list, rapper Meek Mill and DreamChasers are doing what they can to assist.
Mill collaborated with PUMA and GoPuff to host a toy giveaway for over 3,000 children at Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreation Center Monday.
“I got the platform to help out my community so why not do it, it’s really an easy thing to do,” said Mill.
He gave away video game consoles, bicycles, art sets, sneakers, board games and an array of other toys to kids from schools and organizations across the Philadelphia area.
Growing up in that same community, Mill knows the poverty rate there and giving back to this community is something special for him because the people he’s helping are people he knows.
“I didn’t forget about where I came from,” said Mill. “I actually come around here a lot. I can’t hang on the corner no more or nothing but you know I know the people around here. I know these faces,” added Mill.
Mill had his son, Rahmeek, with him who says he’s “happy” about helping out the community.
