Meek Mill believes in giving for the holidays, especially to the needy in his Philadelphia hometown.

The “All Eyes on You” rapper announced Monday he’s donating Christmas gifts worth $500,000 on Sunday, December 19. The presents will include MacBook Air laptops, Amazon Fire HD tablets, video game gift cards, board games, bikes and helmets, winter coats, dolls, play sets, and more.

Meek commented on Instagram, “We blessed so we bless.” Earlier this month on social media, he teased the event, writing, “Really doing something big for the city. Computers, bikes, and more for the kids.”

The 34-year-old entertainer is partnering with Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and Roc Nation to bring the holiday spirit to the City of Brotherly Love with “Meek Mill’s Holiday Giveaway Event.”

Meek will also make an additional $30,000 donation to the Philadelphia chapter of Twelve Days of Christmas, a volunteer organization that donates to families in need during the holiday season.
