Marcy Park in Brooklyn got new asphalt, fresh backboards on its basketball hoops and a new mural, and the 215,000 dollars that paid for it came from Tracy Morgan. He grew up in the Tompkins Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant and he keeps going back. One Thanksgiving he was at Tompkins handing out turkeys donated by himself and two food companies.

Another year he was at the Mott Haven Community Center in the Bronx, giving out 1,200 turkeys supplied by the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, working with East Side House Settlement, which runs education and job training for thousands of Bronx residents every year. A Brooklyn councilmember said he has given to the food bank for many distributions across the borough.

Through a partnership with the Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation he has put in more than 200,000 dollars for food and support reaching 19,000 families.
