The Season of Giving is upon us and Trae Young and the Trae Young Family Foundation are doing their part for those in need.

On Sunday afternoon, Trae and his wife Shelby pulled up to My Sister’s House — a branch of Atlanta Mission that serves and shelters local women and children experiencing homelessness — with truckloads of goods sourced by Second Helpings Atlanta from a local Trader Joe’s.

“It’s always important every year to give back to the community, and especially during holidays,” Trae said. “I’ve done stuff with them before…it’s really cool that this time I can be here in person. Last time it was closed during COVID. So, I wasn’t able to go. So it’s cool, I get to do something and be in person this time around.”

Trae and Shelby then stayed to serve and spend time with the women and children at the shelter.

Trae and the TYFF have partnered with Second Helpings, a nonprofit that specializes in the rescue and redistribution of surplus food from grocery stores, restaurants and event venues to deliver supplies for holiday meals. On Sunday they picked up more than 800 pounds of food to redistribute to Atlanta Mission’s various campuses across the region.

Trae’s involvement serves multiple purposes for both organizations, not only providing funds, but also a platform for the good being done throughout the city.

“It provides tremendous support and encouragement when the community steps up, with Trae and the Atlanta Hawks saying, ‘hey, it matters. You matter as a man, woman or child experiencing homelessness,’” said Phil Barks, Director of Volunteer Services for Atlanta. “Here at My Sister’s House, we have around 250 to 260 women and children. So children from babies all the way up to 18-year-olds and moms and singles, as well. Just tremendous. That shows that someone cares.”
