“It’s been a tough year for all of us, but through all the ups and downs, I’ll always do my part to support and give back to the Philly community that raised me,” said Meek told Complex. “I remember not having much growing up, so it’s important to use my platform to give back, especially to the families trying to provide for their kids while also dealing with the criminal justice system.”

Also, according to CBSN Philly, Mill has also donated $30,000 to an organization named Twelve Days of Christmas Inc. The organization was at Paul Robeson High School spreading love and holiday cheer by donating gifts, groceries, and giving a helping hand to economically disadvantaged families.

“It’s just been an amazing experience. I can’t express how proud I am of our school community for coming together to support these families,” said Robeson principal Richard Gordon.

“We’re living out the mission and passion of 12 days of Christmas. We’re providing holiday cheer for those families that are less fortunate,” said 12 days of Christmas Philadelphia Chapter President Stephanie Mays Boyd.
