Big Loud Records artist Morgan Wallen has created the More Than My Hometown Foundation, which aims to help young people in need find a forever family and support them in trying to build the best life possible. According to the website, the foundation "believes every young person deserves the best chance at a great life, by strengthening and fostering these four pillars: family, community, guidance and love." Named after Wallen's #1 single from a year ago, the foundation wants to help children, adolescents and teenagers find stable, loving homes that can help them "rebuild their confidence, self-belief, and to feel forever loved," the website explains. The organization seeks to partner with cities and towns to develop after-school programs that will help young people interact with "positive role models and community leaders."
"Since my parents fostered and now officially adopted my sister Lacey, I’ve witnessed what love and care can do for a child that didn’t have it before," said Wallen. "She has transformed into a confident, trusting and happy kid. There are many elements that aid in the development and protection of an adolescent's life, and that is why I created the foundation, so a child's resources are not limited due to their circumstances."
