Singer and actress Jennifer Hudson has teamed up with her sister, Julia Hudson for the 10th annual Hatch Day event. The sisters alongside charity volunteers delivered over 2,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children in need through the Julian D. King Gift Foundation in Chicago.
The Julian D. King Gift Foundation is named after Jennifer’s late nephew, who died of multiple gunshot wounds in a family triple murder case in 2008. The foundation provides stability, support and positive experiences for children of all backgrounds to help enable them to grow to be productive, confident and happy adults.
38-year old Hudson took to Instagram to share:
