Lil Baby has continued to give back to his hometown by hosting a back-to-school giveaway in Atlanta over the weekend.
On Sunday (August 7), the 4PF boss took over the West End Mall for his annual Back to School Fest, where he treated 3,000 local children to music, games, carnival rides, food, backpacks, school supplies and haircuts.

Marking Lil Baby’s third annual Back to School Fest, the event was a collaboration with hunger relief company Goodr.
“We are grateful to Lil Baby for his continued resolution in giving back to his community,” Goodr CEO Jasmine Crowe said. “It is an honor to continually team up with such a household name to relieve some of the ongoing financial burden people are facing.”

The Back to School Fest came just weeks after Lil Baby teamed up with restaurateur Lemont Bradley for a special initiative that aims to create 100 jobs for young people in Atlanta.
The partnership offers employment opportunities at Bradley’s various establishments in the area — Clutch Restaurant, Auto Spa Bistro and Eco Car Spa — such as bartender, waiter and line cook vacancies.

“We are looking to give out 100 jobs to teenagers and young adults in the metro-Atlanta,” Baby and Bradley said in a joint statement. “With the crime rate surrounding scams, robbery, and even murder being so high, we are looking to provide a positive outlet and revenue stream to those who are looking for an income.”
They continued: “We are so excited about this initiative. Of course, we are looking forward to helping boost the city’s economy, but we are really focused on lowering the city’s crime rate.”
