A Trenton family that won $284 million in the Powerball lottery in 2016 is making New Jersey proud with their “pay it forward” attitude.
The Smith family started the Smith Family Foundation and use their winnings to help Trenton residents. Much of what they do is take grant requests.
The family announced this week that they will be holding a Kwanzaa celebration for Trenton residents at the end of December.
More information about the foundation can be found at their website.
