Rihanna Visits And Donates Clothes, Food To Homeless Veterans In Los Angeles
Rihanna broke the internet after revealing pregnancy photos of her and boyfriend A$AP Rocky hit social media, but now the superstar singer is making more life changing headlines.
According to Complex, RiRi visited the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs campus to show her support to homeless vests, and to provide food and supplies to the organization.
Activist Sennett Devermont shared in an Instagram post how Rihanna lended her ear to the vets struggling to maintain safe and reliable shelter in the city.
“I met Rihanna, the greatest singer on earth,” said a vet in a video shared by the AFTP Foundation. “She donated clothes, food, and she cares about the veterans. … United States Army veterans. U.S. Marine veterans. Air Force veterans. She cares about all the veterans. She cares about us and she showed us. And she’s going to take care of business.”
The post added in its caption: "Despite all circumstances of how veterans are treated sleeping in tents on asphalt or tiny sheds on land they should call a home, I can say hope and joy was spread to the Veterans," reads the AFTP post. "The authenticity of actually caring and listening was beyond the amazing supplies that @badgalriri donated. Rihanna made that happen when she visited the vets today. Honored to have been witness to this!"
According to Page Six, Rihanna was at the veterans affairs campus “for hours” listening to “concerns” and “issues” of veterans who are homeless.
“She was genuinely interested and concerned,” the source added. “She actually cared. She listened to everyone and distributed everything. She took photos with anyone who asked.”
