NeNe Leakes gathered her celebrity friends — Ne-Yo and his wife Crystal Smith, Kenny Burns, Nicci Gilbert, Jason and Halani Lobdell, and Jevon Dewand — to partner with the Trinity Girls Network and Chanita Foster, CEO of the nonprofit Beyond The Game. The team initially set up shop in front of The Loft Athletic Club on Old Chattahoochee Avenue in Atlanta and distributed turkeys as well as a box of fresh vegetables, eggs, milk and other items to prepare a complete holiday dinner.
Foster and Leakes, who was also joined at the event by her husband Gregg Leakes and son Brennt, handed out the boxes, which were brought in by U-Haul truck, to more than 500 families on Bankhead Highway.
“My heart is now full,” said the former star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
“It’s truly a blessing my husband Gregg and my son Brennt and I are able to support my good friend Chanita Foster and organizations like the Trinity Girls Network and participate in giving back to the community. Sometimes people take so many things for granted, but I am so appreciative of all my blessings.”
Gilbert, a producer, singer and member of the popular ’90s girl group Brownstone, shared Leakes’ sentiments. “I’m out here with my grandson Braelyn leading by example,” she said. “Today was a beautiful experience, and it was great seeing so many dope people showing up for such a great cause.”
