PHILADELPHIA (KYW) – Rapper Meek Mill is celebrating the holidays in his hometown of Philadelphia after being released from jail in April.

For hours, eager families waited outside the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center in North Philadelphia.

More than 3,000 children were given presents thanks to Meek. – READ MORE
