Showing even rock stars have hearts, Kid Rock purchased 1,200 $25 Meijer department store/grocery store gift cards which he’ll distribute to Detroit citizens in need this Christmas. Local radio stations helped pass out the gift cards beginning on December 14, 2011 to people who can use some extra help this holiday season.
In 2010, Kid Rock donated 1,000 meals at Thanksgiving and decided, after the success of that charitable gift, to up the amount given out this year to 1,200. His charitable efforts don’t stop there, as he and a group of of Detroit business people gave $375,000 to Detroit charities through his Kid Rock Foundation. And he has plans for another charitable donation to be announced early in 2012 which will also focus on Detroit.
Kid Rock recently completed a US tour and performed his single, “Care,” on CNN’s Heroes: An All-Star Tribute last weekend.
