MrBeast collaborated with various YouTubers to give away over $400,000 worth of merchandise to people in need

During his latest video, Jimmy collaborated with various YouTubers including Dream, GeorgeNotFound, YesTheory and more. These YouTubers donated the extra merchandise towards Jimmy's donation drives, which ammased a value of over $400,000.

"We harassed YouTubers to send us all of their extra merch...In total, my YouTube friends were kind enough to donate over $400,000 worth of their merch."

Jimmy explained the idea behind the video, stating that the donation drive would include 30 different locations to provide clothing to families in need.

At the first location in the video, Jimmy and his team overtook a local public school's gym, filling it to the brim with merchandise donated by the various YouTubers. Every student was allowed to choose two articles from the makeshift shop.

Due to the excessive amount of clothing available, other schools in the district were invited to send students across to participate in the donation drive. MrBeast, along with his friends, actively interacted with the children, creating a wholesome video all around. One of the chaperones commented in the video:

"This is the happiest I have ever seen these kids."

The second location, yet another school, had recently witnessed an accident where its roof had collapsed. Jimmy informed the viewers that due to the mishappening, the overall morale amongst the students was low.

However, as soon as the donation shop was set up, excitement and thrill filled the air as the children met their YouTube idols.

"This school has been going through a rough time because their roof recently collapsed in a storm last year. So we wanted to do something nice for them."

The video captured a hilarious interaction between Jimmy and a couple of students who seemed flabbergasted at the YouTuber's actual height. Confirming the rumors, he stated that that his actual height was 6'3.

"Everyone is always talking about my height. *laughs* Yes, I am 6'3."

The kids repeatedly came up to the camera, exclaiming their gratitude to MrBeast and calling him their favorite YouTuber. Other members of his team, including Karl Jacobs, hilariously tried to shift the children's favor to himself, but were ultimately unsuccessful.

Their third destination was an afterschool program run by the local police department. The team was informed by the police that the children were in dire need of extra clothing for the winter.

MrBeast then orchestrated a prank on Karl and Nolan Hansen, with the aid of the children. He asked the children not to react to Karl's entry, as a snub to his popularity.

Conversely, the children were asked to display extravagant excitement during Nolan's introduction. The ultimate result was a hilarious scene, showing a massively confused Karl as Nolan jumped around in glee at all the affection he received from the children.

"I'm gonna bring Karl in and I want you guys not to freak out. And then I'm going to bring Nolan in and I want you to freak out."

Jimmy and his team collaborated with 15 other local schools. They also donated clothes to tenants at a low-income housing development and set up an entirely free clothing store for the community. Their final destination was a shelter for the homeless, where they distributed the remainder of the merchandise.

The philanthrophistic YouTuber plans on conducting several such donation drives in the coming months and ended the video by asking his viewers to request other YouTubers to contribute towards the same.
