Meek Mill showed up at his alma mater, James G Blaine Elementary, and announced that he's donating 6,000 backpacks with supplies to students in Philly.
He stated, "Growing up in Philly, I’ve watched families struggle to make ends meet and buy basic school supplies for their kids. Those memories stay with me and that’s why I’m committed to giving back to families in my hometown, putting smiles on kids’ faces and helping them start the school year on the right note with the right supplies."
Over the past five years, Meek Mill and his Dream Chasers crew have been giving back to his hometown with charitable drives, including giving away turkeys on Thanksgiving. Meek is also getting involved with a "major foundation" that will focus on criminal justice reform, according to 76ers owner Michael Rubin.
