Providence, RI – Providence hip-hop group Fedd Hill helped to organize and execute a free warm meal and canned food drive for the homeless at Garcia’s Bar and Grille on Smith Street. The members of Fedd Hill diligently collected hundreds of canned foods in the weeks leading up to the event. The artists of Fedd Hill cooked food for the homeless and then served warm meals to the less fortunate. Fedd Hill also prepared gift baskets full of canned goods and oversaw the distribution of these meaningful gifts.

One gentleman, known to the community only as “Harmonica Man” expressed his appreciation to Fedd Hill, noting that “any warm food is better than the food at the shelter.” Tom Betrand, another food recipient also thanked Fedd Hill for their involvement, saying “you have to give back sooner or later.”

The members of Fedd Hill feel very strongly about the need to give to the community that supports them. Alipone states, “We know what it’s like to be homeless, so now that we have some resources as a result of our success in music, it’s time to give back.” Trens elaborates, “Our fans come from all walks of life and they have given so much to us, so it’s only natural that we seek out opportunities to help the people of our city.” Rhode Island State Representative Thomas C. Slater was on hand to help out and to thank Fedd Hill for their generous donations of time and resources. “The young men of Fedd Hill see the larger picture. They realize that their success in life and their success in music rests largely on their ability to serve as mature and responsible citizen role models for the city of Providence and the state of Rhode Island.”

Fedd Hill played an integral role in the operation of the free warm meal and canned good distribution at Garcia’s Bar and Grille. The humility that the members of Fedd Hill showed in their efforts to feed the homeless will no doubt come in handy when the group achieves the highest pinnacles of success in the music industry.
