Tyler Perry Donates $ 1.4 million

Tyler Perry donated nearly $1.4 million to several organizations serving families most affected by the recent pause to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Among the beneficiaries of Tyler Perry’s donation are Atlanta Community Food Bank, Baby2Baby, Meals on Wheels Atlanta, Caring for Others, All for Lunch, the Ron Clark Academy, and Goodr, each known for addressing hunger, food insecurity, and essential needs in underserved communities.

In a statement shared with People, Perry reflected on the urgent need for compassion during times of crisis, noting that those who have never experienced poverty may not fully understand the life-changing impact SNAP benefits have on working families, seniors, and children. 

For millions of Americans, he said, losing access to those benefits could mean “extreme hunger,” while for newborns, it could mean “a lack of access to formula.”
