Rapper Scotty ATL helps those in need this Christmas

ATLANTA — A local record company and rapper partnered with other volunteers to hand out free clothing and toiletries in Atlanta on Christmas Eve.

Atlanta rapper Scotty ATL was at Hurt Park in northeast Atlanta on Saturday helping those in need.

Volunteers also served hot meals to the less fortunate.

“It's a dream come true for someone to show love,” recipient Earl Currie said. “We're away from our friends and family.”

"The good in the hood, you know what I'm saying," Scotty ATL said. "It's good to be out here doing in the community as rappers, artists, as chefs. You know we're doing this independently."

Organizers say they try to give back throughout the year, but especially during the holidays.
