Hoodies for the Homeless

A local musician is lending a helping hand to the less fortunate.

Connor Ingram, also known as Mystery One, is the CEO of the Hoodies for the Homeless campaign.

He says the program offers a brand new hoodie for homeless individuals in exchange for two, used donated shirts.

Ingram’s been working alongside the organization Loud Alive to make this all possible. Alexander Reyes is the group’s CEO. He says Loud Alive focuses on change in the community through youth initiatives.

Reyes says they will release an update on the success of the program on December 16th through their different social media platforms.

Ingram says that after living on the streets himself, it was time to give back.

For more on the campaign, as well as the hip-hop fundraising night in Duncan tonight, visit Loud Alive‘s official website.
