Jermaine Dupri Serves Atlanta Families Thanksgiving Dinner
Jermaine Dupri, PETA and other local Atlanta organizations served dinner to families on Thanksgiving.
ATLANTA, GA — Jermaine Dupri, who’s a vegan, teamed with PETA this Thanksgiving to serve meals to more than 50 Atlanta families in need, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Drupri was joined by "Dynasty" actors Elaine Hendrix and Rafael de la Fuente, along with local organizations Southwest Ecumenical Emergency Assistance Center and Hands On Atlanta.
The volunteers served the families roasted vegan turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and pumpkin pie provided by Atlanta vegan restaurant, Café Sunflower. Tofurky roasts were also given away.
"For me, there's nothing better for feeling your best and knowing you're helping the planet and animals," Dupri tells the AJC. "The holidays are about the spirit of giving, and PETA and I want to give people in Atlanta a Thanksgiving meal that's healthy, humane, and delicious."
