This week, rapper and producer Quavo joined forces with the Atlanta Community Food Bank and the Atlanta City Council for the second annual Huncho Farms to support communities facing food scarcity.
According to Variety, the event offered live music, food, and holiday-themed activities for their 500 families in addition to a custom Huncho Farms cookbook containing timeless, nutritional, and easy-to-make holiday recipes.
Quavo — who was named Variety’s Hitmakers Humanitarian of the Year earlier this month for his work in gun control — made a special appearance alongside Atlanta Councilwoman Andrea Boon.
“I’m so grateful that Quavo and the Quavo Cares Foundation chose this community for their Huncho Farms event this year,” Boone said. “This neighborhood is situated in a food desert, where a vast number of grandparents are raising their grandchildren. Food costs are exorbitant, making it more difficult for people to address their basic needs. This farmer’s market-style food drive will assist many hard-working people who deserve to have healthy fresh food and vegetable options this holiday season. Thanks to the generosity of the Quavo Cares Foundation, our residents will enjoy a beautiful Christmas dinner.”
Quavo Cares has previously partnered with Walmart, Feeding America, New Bethel Ministries, and the Atlanta Community Food Bank to foster community and serve families from Gwinnett, Fulton, and Dekalb counties.
