"How I, how we do it up here, so to speak, is we take care of both us, the not just the physical side but the mental side as well, then it'll just prepare these kids all the more better for the, for the goals that they're trying to achieve later in life," Carrington said.
This is at least the second time this year Carrington has returned to Baltimore to help children in need. In February, he joined volunteers to fill more than 100 backpacks with personal care items for kids in foster care.
