Morgan Wallen has a brand new sister and even though she is officially a new member of the family now, she has already inspired him for good.  He has created a new charitable foundation called" More Than My Hometown" and its inspired by his parents recent adoption of Morgan's new sister Lacy.

Lacy is not new to the family, they have been fostering her for awhile now.  But it is now official that she is indeed a Wallen.  Morgan is hoping that his new foundation will help give back to communities with children who are looking for their forever home.

Morgan named his foundation after his number one hit "More Than My Hometown".  That song became a number one hit back in 1990.  To learn more, check out our source in Taste Of Country

Morgan Wallen is not the only country artist that is an advocate for foster children, so is our hometown boy Jimmy Wayne.  Jimmy "Stay Gone", "Paper Angels", "I love You This Much", spent most of his life in foster care and credit's the care and love of a lady named Bea for steering him in the right direction.  He wrote an amazing book about his life called "Walk To Beautiful".
