Houston, TX – November 18, 2024: Jammin’ Jimmy Olson and Trae Tha Truth will be helping Children, Seniors, and Veterans in need in the Houston Area, this holiday season with their Tons of Toys and Food Drive starting November 29, 2024, at 8:00 am until December 2, 2024 at 8:00 pm at Walmart 2727 Dunvale Rd. Houston, TX 77063.
Jammin’ Jimmy Olson has been doing radio since 1988 in Houston where he ranked #1 on several stations. Jimmy’s calling has always been helping children in need, and he’s been doing it since 1999 when he started his Ton of Toys Toy Drive. This year marks 26 years of this endeavor and Olson’s JJO Charities will partner with Trae Tha Truth’s Angel By Nature to collect donations for Houston Food Bank, BEAR (Be A Resource for CPS Kids), and Toys for Tots.
In Houston, 1 in 3 children and 1 in 5 adults (mostly Seniors and Our Veterans) are food deprived, organizations like Truth’s Angel By Nature take up the mantel and help with food distribution regularly and increase their efforts following natural disasters like after the 2024 hurricane Beryl. Each year Angel By Nature also provides hot meals with sides for Thanksgiving. Olson, who was inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame in 2019 and received presidential and congressional awards in 2022 and 2024 for his service says “It’s nice to be awarded and recognized, but this is about the kids, no child should go to bed hungry and they all deserve to smile on Christmas morning.”
Houstonians are encouraged to join the volunteer efforts at Walmart collecting donations and passing out lists to shoppers as they enter from Friday, November 29, 2024, to Monday, December 2, 2024, from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
