These past few months have been extremely difficult thanks to the Coronavirus. Every single day, the number of infected people rises and the death toll continues to mount. During these trying times, essential workers are more needed than ever before and people have begun to take notice. Almost every single hour on TV, we are hit with a tear-jerking commercial about essential workes and the pivotal role they are playing in society right now. 

Numerous companies are looking to give back to these individuals and Reebok is one of them. In fact, they announced the #ReebokLove campaign which will allow people to nominate one essential worker to receive a free pair of shoes. Yes, that’s right, if someone special in your life is currently on the front lines, you can hook them up with some dope kicks.

All you need to do is head on over to reebok.com/giveback and fill out the form. This offer is only valid in the United States and quantities are limited so if you want to nominate someone, you better do it fast.

Overall, this is a pretty incredible initiative that will go a long way in putting smiles on people’s faces.

Though Lil Durk is living in Atlanta these days, Chicago will forever be his home. Even after moving from the Windy City, he continues to make sure that he gives back to his community in whatever way possible. Most recently, the rapper made sure to take care of the frontline workers who are helping battle the coronavirus pandemic right now.

Durkio and his team made their way to Rush Hospital in Chicago on Friday where they gave out free meals for the workers on the frontline of the pandemic. Healthcare workers were brought boxed meals from PHLAVZ, owned by Durk’s manager, while Durk and co. also had another 100 meals ready for pick up for healthcare workers on Friday night. 

It should be noted that Durk and his team did make sure to keep human contact to a minimum with one staff member bringing the meals inside to the rest of the hospitality staff.

“Everyone back home has been in my thoughts, especially those doing something for the community and all the neighborhood heroes,” Durk told TMZ. “I thought about all the first responders putting their lives on the line to help out and it inspired me, so I took a jet back to Chicago to show my thanks.”

Shout out to Lil Durk, a true Neighborhood Hero in the city of Chicago.
