Future has alleviated the stresses of the holiday season for a large number of Georgia residents through his Freewishes Foundation.

The Atlanta rap legend gave back to the community over the weekend by treating 1,000 Georgia families to an all-out shopping spree at Target as part of the organization’s I AM A DREAMER Holiday Pop-Up.

The toy drive took place on Saturday (December 17) and served as the Freewishes Foundation’s 9th annual event.

“Christmas has always been another opportunity to give and not receive for the foundation,” Future’s sister, Tia Wilburn, said in a statement (via VIBE). “We’ve been committed to giving back to those in need for over ten years, especially in metro Atlanta and the neighborhood we grew up in, Kirkwood.”

Future’s mother, Tia Jester, added: “I’m so happy that everyone was able to get the things they need for their children and family members. We are doing our part to service our communities. In over a decade we’ve never waited for anyone else to help our community.

“We have always stepped up to the plate. Our commitment to the community is very faith-based. God has been a blessing to our family and we want to continue to service the community.”

The toy drive isn’t the only way Future’s organization helps the community as the Freewishes Foundation also provides scholarships, health programs and assistance to senior citizens around Georgia.

Future isn’t the only rapper giving back around the holiday season. Last week, Lil Wayne hosted Weezy Christmas in his hometown of New Orleans for 150 kids who were treated to a day of fun and games at Dave & Buster’s. They were also gifted sports equipment to take home for the upcoming season.

“I want to personally wish each of you a Merry Christmas,” Weezy said in a video to the children. “And I know you love sports like I love sports, so I hit up my people at Wilson Sporting Goods to give you the gift of game. I specifically picked out everything myself, I hope you love everything and I hope you have an amazing holiday.”
