Lil Baby Hosts 5th Annual Back-to-School Fest in Atlanta, Giving Supplies to Over 4,000 Kids

Lil Baby and his nonprofit organization, The Jones Project, have once again given back to his hometown in a big way.

On Saturday, July 26, the Atlanta native hosted the Fifth Annual Back-to-School Fest at West End Production Park, providing essential supplies and services to help over 4,000 local students and families prepare for the upcoming school year. "At this point, it’s about the kids," Lil Baby said following the event.

The event helped to eliminate financial barriers for Atlanta's West End youth by offering a full day of free resources and community activities. Students received free shoes, backpacks, school uniforms, and supplies, in addition to haircuts, braiding services, and wellness products.

Lil Baby has partnered with organizations including The Jessie Rose Project, Zaxby's, The Athlete's Foot, Fanatics, Slim & Husky's Pizza, Dr. Bombay, and j.mcallister Events to bring the back-to-school fest to life. The event also featured festival games, bounce houses, face painting, a shoe-building station, and free meals from Zaxby's, shoes from The Athlete’s Foot, merchandise from Fanatics, and food from Slim & Husky's Pizza and Dr. Bombay Ice Cream.

The Jones Project reflects Lil Baby's ongoing commitment to Atlanta's historic West End community. Together, Baby and his team have provided food, clothing, educational support, and safe spaces to children and families year-round.

Lil Baby recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of his second studio album, My Turn, by releasing a special edition blue vinyl, which is now available at the Complex Shop. Fans can purchase a special edition blue vinyl of Baby's sophomore album, which comes with a tangerine-colored vinyl to kick off the celebrations.
