JERSEY CITY - Kendall Robinson's nonprofit organization started with a simple, but charitable idea: distribute an often overlooked commodity to the homeless population in her hometown of Atlanta.

Toilet paper.

Just over a year later, the 16-year-old's organization, Love Rolls, has garnered the attention of state and federal politicians and has received an impressive number of donations from major corporations.

"(Love Rolls) has blown up beyond what my daughter originally thought it was going to be, and that's a good thing!" said Kendall's mother, Felicia Robinson. "It has been a huge blessing."

Through a partnership with the Community Food Bank of New Jersey and the Nu Lambda Lambda chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Love Rolls will host its first out-of-state toilet paper drive at the Mary McLeod Bethune Center in Jersey City on Dec. 10.

And while this is the first time Kendall, her mother, and younger sister, will be traveling out of Georgia for their organization, it certainly isn't the first time Love Rolls has had an impact on communities beyond Atlanta.

Cricket Wireless - a subsidiary of AT&T - contacted the family after the August flood in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and asked if Love Rolls would contribute toilet paper to flood victims.

"We didn't go to Louisiana, but the Love Rolls still made it there," Felicia said.

It all began when Kendall attended a Teen Youth Summit program with the Community Food Bank in Atlanta in the summer of 2015. She met a homeless man who told her that he tries to make due with one roll of toilet paper for an entire month.

"Kendall came home and couldn't believe it," her mother recalled.

From that point on, she was determined to make her charity drive happen. On April 27, Felicia shared on her Facebook page what Kendall planned to do, and the response was tremendous: every day for an entire month there was a new box of donated toilet paper on their door step.

In fact, one of their friends from Jersey City shipped more than 300 rolls.

"We could tell it was really striking a chord," Felicia said.

The organization, which became a 501(c)(3) non-profit this fall, has had the help of various toilet paper-related companies including Georgia-Pacific, which pledged more than 100,000 rolls over the next year to the organization. Kimberly Clark, the company that manufacturs of Scott Toilet Paper, donated 75,000 rolls before Love Rolls was even considered a nonprofit organization.

Other companies, including Chick-Fil-A and Marriott International, have expressed their admiration over the Robinson family's charitable work as well.

After a month of her charity, Kendall got to meet with the Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, and even received an acknowledgment letter from President Obama himself.

There's always been some sort of charity in Kendall's life: from girl scouts, to charitable work she did abroad in Athens, Greece, and Ecuador.

"I've been doing charity work ever since I was little," Kendall said. "I know how much I've been blessed and it's important that if you are bestowed a lot of blessings, you're supposed to give them back and help others who aren't as fortunate."

But it seems Kendall knows exactly where her passion came from.

"My Mother (inspires me to do charity work) because she's always encouraged me to volunteer ever since I was little," she said. "She always made sure that - she wanted to instill values in us that are not selfish and to make sure that we are always thinking of other people and not just about ourselves."
