Rapper Future Creates Wellness Meal Program for Atlanta Senior Citizens

Rapper and recording artist Future has created a wellness program for seniors in Atlanta, under the auspices of his FreeWishes Foundation, reports Atlanta Daily World . The foundation this year implemented a "Wellness on Wheels" campaign to accommodate the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, employing a contactless, drive-in delivery system. Atlanta-based seniors received shopping bags containing stress balls, disposable masks, first aid kits, activity books, healthy snacks, and other items. Wellness on Wheels was conceived to promote healthy independent living by giving the senior community the means to maintain their health, via nutritional instruction, health items, and wellness practices. All staff and volunteers follow COVID-19 guidelines recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including compliance with social distancing protocols and wearing masks. Future believes it is even more critical that his foundation continues to service senior citizens, as many community activities in Metro Atlanta remain canceled. "After speaking with a few of the senior adults they are feeling a little scared and somewhat isolated," he said. "I don't want COVID-19 to stop our foundation's commitment to their health and wellness. Through it all . . . life is good."
