TDE HOSTS FOOD DRIVE IN WATTS

Top Dawg Entertainment and the Think Watts Foundation are hosting "Above and Beyond," a free food distribution event today (6/10) for the Watts community.

Sponsored by Beyond Meat, HACLA and the Harold Robinson Foundation, the event will provide healthy food options and nutritional education for residents in all of the Watts public housing projects. Additional sponsors include Aqua Equity, Community Healing Gardens, GodissLove and Primestor.

Several thousand food boxes filled with Beyond Meat products, fresh produce and cases of water will be available for residents of Nickerson Gardens, Jordan Downs, Imperial Courts, Gonzaque Village and Avalon Gardens. The day will begin in the Jordan Downs community and conclude at the Nickerson Gardens.

The event is another one of TDE's efforts to give back to their community, and follows a recent donation to cover rent for seniors in Watts at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
