ATLANTA — Two transcendent musical savants, Teddy Riley and Shanti Das, joined up with “Cosby Show” alum Keshia-Knight Pulliam to help bring serious star power to the 4th annual ‘No Reservations Needed’ Food Drive and Dinner benefiting the Atlanta Mission.
Actress Demetria McKinney and radio/TV personality Big Tigger were also celebs on hand to bequeath some love on the week-long Thanksgiving celebration.
On Saturday, November 21, the 4th annual ‘No Reservations Needed’ kicked-off with a very successful food drive at the Walmart off MLK Drive in Atlanta, GA. Hundreds of patrons came out to donate various non-perishable canned goods needed for the preparation of the upcoming dinner. In addition, The Art Institute of Atlanta supported this worthy-cause by hosting a food drive on their campus.
