Three years after Paula Deen launched her charity in the midst of her N word scandal, Breaking Celebrity News has learned she has finally begun to give back!

The Bag Lady Foundation was announced in May 2013, just a few weeks before Breaking Celebrity News exclusively reported that she had admitted to using the N word and making racist jokes in a court deposition.

By July, the attorney for the foundation said more than $92,000 had been collected — including $70,000 from fans — and predicted that the first grant would be given out by the end of the years. But by February 2014, Gawker reported, still no donations had been distributed, as Deen's pal said such efforts had been "postponed."
