Lil Baby hosted a back-to-school festival at West End Mall on Sunday, attracting hundreds of families in Atlanta.
According to CBS46, over 3,000 children joined the rapper for a day of music, games, food, carnival rides, school supplies and free haircuts. The rapper also provided free shoes and clothing from Foot Locker for every child in attendance.
Lil Baby, born Dominique Armani Jones, was joined by Goodr, a waste management and hunger relief company that partnered with Kandi Burruss during her back-to-school giveaway last week. Goodr also provided an on-site after-school snack bar.
Jasmine Crowe, the CEO of Goodr, said it was an honor to work with Lil Baby to ease the financial burden families face.
“We are grateful to Lil Baby for his continued resolution in giving back to his community,” 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.”

Last month, Lil Baby revealed that he would be working with the business owner, Lemont Bradley, to hire 100 young people under 21 with employment throughout Atlanta.
“We are looking to give out 100 jobs to teenagers and young adults in the metro Atlanta area,” Lil baby said. “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.”
