Gospel Rapper Lecrae Helps The Homeless In Atlanta Amid Coronavirus

Lecrae and the executive director of Love Beyond Walls, Terrence Lester, worked together to help the homeless people of Atlanta amidst the spread of the Coronavirus. Yesterday the duo dispersed over 15 portable hand washing stations around the city. 

“When the pandemic hit, I thought, ‘What is the homeless community doing about these warnings’. There are three ways to tap in when major issues arise in society. One is publicity- making your voice known and speaking out, whether it’s on social media or otherwise. Two is policies- making sure you’re informed and involved in laws that benefit us. Three is productivity- making sure you’re productive, and for some of us, right now, that means
staying home”, Lecrae told WSB-TV.

“Do not be dismayed at the brokenness of this world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.” – Knost_ When people living on the street don’t have the means…we should step in to wash their hands. #Setmefree #corona (my man did get a meal btw.)_ This is not the end. #Restoration is coming.

Each sanitary station has five gallons of water and refillable soap dispensers. Lecrae and the foundation also passed out an assortment of free burgers and sandwiches. 

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, there has been 420 confirmed cases in Georgia and 13 deaths.
