Tyler Perry has a heart as big as his box office numbers, and yesterday he proved it once again. The entertainment mogul paid for all of the groceries during senior hours at 29 Winn-Dixie stores in New Orleans and at 44 Kroger stores in Atlanta, according to CBS46.
Felix Turner, the Atlanta spokesman for Kroger told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “We would like to join our customers in thanking Mr. Perry for his kindness and generosity during this unprecedented pandemic. It was truly a pleasure to see our customers fill with joy and gratitude as the news spread throughout 44 stores across metro Atlanta.”
Janette Maas told AJC that her receipt said, “Atlanta Angel” and “I got my Kroger fuel points.”
He got a lot of points. How many, we don’t know, but his generosity cost him over six digits. That goes with the $21,000 he gave to the 42 out of work employees at his favorite Houston’s restaurant in Atlanta over the weekend.
He truly is an angel. I don’t care what you think about his movies and television shows. We should support his projects because he is always giving back to the community. How many other entertainment giants can you say that about? People like the Kardashians, Mark Wahlberg, Steven Speilberg, David Geffen, Ashton Kutcher, and so on.
