True Star's own Jahkil Jackson (17) has a heartfelt desire to help those in need. After helping his aunt distribute food to the unhoused in Chicago at just 5 years old, he knew that he wanted to do more to make a difference.  It quickly became Jahkil’s mission to build awareness of people impacted by homelessness and to help the unhoused population by offering them what he calls “Blessing Bags,” a giveaway filled with wipes, socks, deodorant, hand sanitizer, granola bars, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bottled water, and more.  

In attempts to generate excitement around giving back, Jahkil partners with True Star to lead community service efforts for its program participants.  To date True Star participants have helped impact over 10,000 people in need. The goal is to distribute an additional 15,000 blessing bags by December 31, 2024.  You can help by donating today.  Each Blessing Bag costs approximately $10.00 to produce.  

Thank you for your support!
