Celebs are doing what they can to give back and help those in need amidst the Coronavirus crisis.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively recently announced that they have donated a total of $1 Million to Feeding America and Food Banks Canada to help provide for those struggling to access meals.
“I think we can all agree, Covid-19 is an a—hole,” Ryan wrote on Twitter. “If you can help, visit, http://FeedingAmerica.org and/or http://FoodBanksCanada.ca.”
“Covid-19 has brutally impacted older adults and low income families,” he said in the statement posted. “Blake and I are donating $1 million to be split between FEEDING AMERICA and FOOD BANKS CANADA. If you can give, these orgs need our help.”
“Take care of your bodies and hearts,” he continued. “Leave room for joy. Call someone who’s isolated and might need connection. (Hugh Jackman’s # is 1-555-😢-HUGH.)”
Vanessa Hudgens has also made a donation to Feeding America, and shared a screenshot on her page. She also urged her followers to join her in helping.
“It’s a crazy time out there in the world. School closures, job disruptions, lack of paid sick leave and the coronavirus’ disproportionate impact on adults age 60 and older and low-income families are all contributing to the demands placed on food banks across the country. Join me in supporting @feedingamerica today. Let’s help each other out rather than freaking the f–k out. Kk?” she wrote on Instagram.
Meanwhile Justin Timberlake is donating to the Mid-South Food Bank in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
“This is a crazy time, but remember we’re all in it together,” he wrote on Twitter. “Start small and support your local communities by getting food out to those in need.”
He also urged those who can help to do so.
Stephen and Ayesha Curry are helping to provide meals to students in Oakland who can no longer attend school due to shutdowns.
“Oakland is closing schools bc of COVID-19. We support this decision but are concerned a/b the 18,000+ kids that rely on school for 2+ meals daily,” Stephen captioned the video explaining how they have partnered with a food bank to do just that. “@eatlearnplay is donating to @ACCFB to ensure every child has access to the food they need. Join us & donate https://bit.ly/33iJBwX.”
Other stars are trying to lift everyone’s spirits up with some music, streaming/sharing some of their performances on social media for free.
Keep safe and healthy, guys!
