Quavo Cares Hosts Second Annual Huncho Farms Event

On Thursday, Quavo and the Quavo Cares team organized their second annual Huncho Farms in collaboration with the Atlanta Community Food Bank and the Atlanta City Council. This initiative aims to assist seniors who are raising their grandchildren, as Quavo Cares remains committed to addressing food scarcity in communities. The marketplace featured live music and holiday-themed activities for 500 families, along with a custom Huncho Farms cookbook filled with timeless, nutritious, and easy-to-prepare holiday recipes.

Inspired by Local Farmers Markets

Building on the success of last year’s event, this year’s Huncho Farms drew inspiration from local farmers markets, showcasing tents with fresh produce, meats, breads, pastries, and more. Quavo, who was recently recognized as Variety’s Hitmakers Humanitarian of the Year for his advocacy in gun control, made a notable appearance alongside Atlanta Councilwoman Andrea Boone and representatives from HOPE Hustlers, a prominent criminal violence intervention organization in Atlanta that is part of The Rocket Foundation’s SPARK grants program collective.

Community Impact and Gratitude

“I’m incredibly thankful that Quavo and the Quavo Cares Foundation selected this community for their Huncho Farms event this year,” stated Boone. “This area is a food desert, where many grandparents are raising their grandchildren. The high cost of food makes it challenging for residents to meet their basic needs. This farmer’s market-style food drive will provide essential support to hardworking individuals who deserve access to healthy, fresh food and vegetable options this holiday season. Thanks to the generosity of the Quavo Cares Foundation, our residents will be able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas dinner.”

Support for Single Black Mothers

Quavo Cares has received a $150,000 grant from the Tender Foundation to support single Black mothers through their guaranteed income program. Following the success of the drive-thru event, it evolved into Huncho Farms, focusing on communities grappling with food insecurity.

Partnerships for Community Service

Quavo Cares has previously collaborated with Walmart, Feeding America, New Bethel Ministries, and the Atlanta Community Food Bank to strengthen community ties and serve families in Gwinnett, Fulton, and Dekalb counties.
