Supporting Seniors at the Jackson Council on Aging Chatham Meal Site
The Council on Aging in nearby Jackson Parish serves as a vital hub for senior citizens, providing recreational activities, health resources, and social engagement opportunities. Brown has partnered with these efforts through his meal-site involvement—helping to provide nutritious lunches, companionship, and essential services to local seniors.

Championing Youth Empowerment
Inspired by longstanding inequities in youth access to educational and enrichment opportunities, Brown is focusing part of his foundation's funds on scholarships, after-school programming, and mentorship.
