Rihanna made a ‘huge’ donation to disabled and homeless veterans in Los Angeles.
Despite being busy with two baby boys now, the 35-year-old singer still found the time to reach out to the Always For The People Foundation ‘and made a huge order’ of goods to distribute.
A source told Page Six on Thursday that the Diamonds hitmaker contacted the organization’s founder, Sennett Devermont, personally.
With the money she donated, he ‘distributed hundreds of hygiene kits, socks, clothes, sleeping bags, food, 50-plus pairs of shoes, toilet paper, dog food, you name it’.
Although she has lent a hand in-person before, the Fenty Beauty founder — who welcomed her second child with A$AP Rocky in early August — was unable this time as ‘things are crazy with the new babies’.
Philanthropist: Rihanna made a ‘huge’ donation to disabled and homeless veterans in Los Angeles. Despite being busy with two baby boys now, the 35-year-old singer still found the time to reach out to the Always For The People Foundation ‘and made a huge order’ of goods to distribute
However, the insider said ‘she’s been very supportive even while becoming a new mom.’
Previously, the nine-time Grammy winner visited the veterans at the VA Medical Center — formerly known as a homeless encampment called Veterans Row — in West Los Angeles when she was pregnant with RZA in 2022.
At the time, an insider told Page Six that she was ‘genuinely interested and concerned’.
They explained that Rihanna had shown up dressed casually in sweats and did not document her philanthropy.
‘She was there to truly listen to veterans living on the property,’ a source added.
‘She spent hours listening to their concerns and their issues,’ the source said. ‘There wasn’t a camera crew or PR.’
She showed up with a van full of sleeping bags, blankets, thermals, flashlights, toilet paper, water, bike locks and mini safes.
She only took photos when people asked to take a picture with her.

According to the publication, she reportedly spent hours unloading the van even while she was pregnant.
‘She actually cared,’ the source continued. ‘She listened to everyone and distributed everything.’
At the time, one veteran recalled the instance and gushed over the star.
‘I met Rihanna, the greatest singer on Earth,’ they said. ‘She donated clothes, food and she cares about the veterans.’
