How MTV Floribama Shore's Candace Is Giving Back This Holiday Season

Once Candace Rice isn't vacationing with her MTV Floribama Shore family member, the delighted Memphis native is giving back to her local community. This holiday season, the founder of the nonprofit Rice Foundation is partnering with The CB Seed Foundation and founder/actress Carrie Bernans to surprise kids from low-income zip codes with shopping sprees (with help from Target) and financial literacy boot camp. The aim of the 4th Annual Operation Christmas Giveback: helping 150 children, which may be the hugest shopping spree giveaway the city has ever seen.


"Reaching our objective means seeing the intent in the eyes of children who might not have had the possibility to believe in a gentleman bringing them presents or to co-worker the holidays with big meals," Candace told MTV News. "Most of the recipients are in tears while they get the news of the spree -- so delighted, they can’t fathom the thought of having the possibility to select whichever they want."


She continued: "Last year, so several of the kids used their shopping spree funds to get food for their household and little presents for mothers. The selflessness in these children is the objective this world needs."
