"When the pandemic hit, I thought, 'What is the homeless community doing about these warnings?'" Lecrae told the news station.

Lecrae, whose single, "Restoration," will be released Friday, put the message behind his music into action this week.

He told Channel 2 he and members of the organization, including executive director Terence Lester, met Thursday at 10 a.m. to assemble the portable sinks. They then installed them across the area.

Lester wanted to install 10 sinks, the station reported. Lecrae wanted to install 15. They started with one, which Lester had to start. The sinks use five gallons of water, contain a full soap dispenser, can be refilled and can be relocated.

"I wanted to continue doing the same stuff that I have been doing just in any city I've lived in and that's just being close to the disenfranchised and the marginalized communities," Lecrae told The Associated Press.

“We spent a good amount of time putting them around Hurt Park,” Lecrae told Channel 2.

The musician also said they gave out a lot of food -- " like a gazillion cheeseburgers," to people in the area, he told Channel 2 .

"You know, whether people like it or not, man we're out here doing our part to ensure that people have access to this basic necessity during this pandemic," Lester told the AP.
