Teddy Swims Rocks the Stage at 11th Annual Kegsmas Charity Event, Rallying Support for Atlanta Community Food Bank

Grammy-Nominated Artist Hosts Giveback for Hunger Relief in Atlanta and North Georgia

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, December 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and Atlanta native Teddy Swims lit up the stage at the 11th Annual Kegsmas Charity Event, which raised $50k to support the Atlanta Community Food Bank, one of the nation’s largest food banks. Held on December 20 at the iconic Tabernacle Atlanta, this one-night-only event brought the community together to support the fight against hunger across Atlanta and North Georgia.

Swims, who has established himself as a music icon for his blend of R&B, soul, country, and pop, selected the Atlanta Community Food Bank as this year’s Kegsmas beneficiary to help advance its mission of fighting hunger by engaging, educating and empowering the Atlanta community. The Atlanta Community Food Bank works with 700 community-based partners to distribute an average of 10.3 million pounds of food each month, or approximately 9 million+ meals, to neighbors who are food insecure in 29 counties across metro Atlanta and north Georgia.

“We are deeply grateful to Teddy Swims for choosing the Atlanta Community Food Bank as his charity of choice for this year’s Kegsmas," said Kyle Waide, President & CEO of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. "Hunger is a year-round issue, not just a challenge during the holidays, so Teddy’s support helps us not only deliver meals to families in need but also raise awareness about the critical importance of donating, volunteering, and advocating for hunger relief every day.”

In addition to Swims' powerful performance, representatives from the Food Bank were on-site, sharing information about their programs, resources, and services, including meal distribution, hunger education, and food access initiatives.

Swims launched the Annual Kegsmas Charity Event in 2013 to bring the community together through music and giving back to causes close to his heart. Over the years, the event has grown into a beloved tradition, raising significant funds and awareness for local charities, with each year spotlighting a different organization making a meaningful impact.
