According to local media reports, cars were lined up for five miles south of downtown Atlanta, and the food was gone within two hours.

Perry, who recently was named one of Hollywood’s newest billionaires, is no stranger to humanitarian efforts. This past April, he surprised seniors in Georgia by paying for their groceries. After Hurricane Dorian, he used his plane to send aid to those on the island, and two years ago, he paid off Walmart shoppers layaway bills a few weeks before Christmas.

During such a chaotic year of job loss in our communities, this demonstration of generosity is needed; Thank you Mr. Perry! We hope to see more people paying it forward.
