T.I. Marks 20th Atlanta Turkey Drive, Feeding More Than 1,000 in Bankhead

The longtime giveaway pairs direct food aid with a nonprofit partnership that adds financial‑literacy resources.

Overview

  • T.I. completed the 20th annual pre‑Thanksgiving distribution outside Jackson Memorial Baptist Church, with Mayor Andre Dickens helping serve meals.
  • Harris Community Works, part of T.I.’s Us Or Else nonprofit, organized the event in partnership with CoolKids.org to provide financial‑literacy materials alongside food.
  • More than 1,000 families and senior citizens received meals, reflecting the drive’s focus on addressing persistent food insecurity in the neighborhood.
  • T.I.’s sons Buddy Red, Domani, and King Harris joined the effort and performed, with Grand Hustle artists Young Dro and T.O. Green contributing to the community celebration.
  • Coverage also notes T.I.’s current music momentum, including a Top 10 Gospel Radio showing for “Thank God” and a 2026 Grammy nomination for his feature on Lecrae’s “Headphones.”
