Singer Jelly Roll and his team made a caring gesture on Friday in Charleston, West Virginia, to neighbors in need.
The musician gave a concert at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center and wanted to go the extra mile to make sure leftover food for his crew went to those who are hungry, WOWK reported.
In a social media post on Friday, the local Salvation Army expressed its gratitude for the kindness toward the people it serves.
“Shouting THANK YOU to Jelly Roll and the non-profit Musically Fed for donating food from their catering service. The food will be used to pack meals to be served to our homeless clients,” the group said:

The news comes as inflation has driven prices higher for people trying to make ends meet in the Biden-Harris (D) administration’s economy.
“Food prices overall rose 0.4 percent in August, the biggest jump since January 2023. The index for fruits and vegetables rose 0.9 percent, with fresh fruit prices jumping 2.2 percent in the month. Grocery store prices rose 0.4 percent, also the biggest increase since January 2023,” Breitbart News reported on October 10.
Citizens have been feeling the pain of rising prices of everyday necessities since Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris (D) took office in January 2021. The cost of food, rent, and electricity have trended upward under their leadership, Breitbart News reported.
