Music, food and service...a celebration fit for a King.
"We wanted to bring the community together to honor his life, his legacy not just by watching TV or having a day off but by truly serving," said Ryan Ray, Year of the Black Entrepreneur visionary.
Cars started lining up at 6 a.m. on Monday to receive their boxes of food.
"It's easy to take for granted in our own comfort zone and you have a meal at your table and you aren't looking for your next meal. But so many people are in need," Ray said.
And hundreds of families were served with 29,000 pounds of food donated from the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.
