Hundreds of seniors packed the Adamsville Recreation Center in West Atlanta on Wednesday to pick up turkey and trimmings donated by the rapper Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., also known as T.I.

Mayor Kasim Reed and several city council members were at the event. Atlanta City Council member C.T. Martin has been volunteering at the event for the past 14 years.

“A lot of people need these turkeys, greens and potatoes,” Martin said. “We just want everybody to have a happy Thanksgiving dinner to feed their families on the day of love.”

T.I. donated 600 turkeys for the event, which was focused on grandparents raising their grandchildren.

The rapper was raised by his grandparents and mother after his father died.
