Gary, Indiana, residents received food, water and a little entertainment as FYB J Mane and DJ KCeaser joined a community relief effort at the YWCA near 15th Street and Broadway.
The event was organized as part of the ongoing response to severe storms that impacted the Gary area, leaving some residents without power and in need of basic necessities.
FYB J Mane personally handed out bowls and served Whoop cereal with milk, giving community members an opportunity to try the cereal if they had never had it before. The giveaway provided both food and a moment of connection for residents dealing with the challenges caused by the storms.
DJ KCeaser provided the music and vibes throughout the event, helping create a positive atmosphere while residents came through for resources.
Several businesses and organizations also contributed. Jets Pizza, with Reaper, helped provide food, while Edgewater Health supplied bottles of water. Marc Cannon and Bundt Cakes provided sweet treats for residents to enjoy.

The relief effort shows the impact of local organizations, businesses, entertainers and community leaders working together to support Gary residents during a difficult time.
