March 18, 2020 David Gonzalez Reel Talk Inc Comments Off on Ryan Reynolds And Blake Lively Donate $1 Million to Feeding America and Food Banks Canada
With the coronavirus pandemic the only news topic dominating all aspects of life, it’s nice to see a bit of positive news hitting the forefront. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have announced that they’ve donated $1 million dollars to two hunger relief organizations that have been assisting some of the most vulnerable populations during the coronavirus pandemic. Reynolds stated, “I think we can all agree, Covid-19 is an a–hole. If you can help, visit, http://www.FeedingAmerica.org and/or http://www.FoodBanksCanada.ca. Covid-19 has brutally impacted older adults and low-income families. Blake & I are donating $1 million to be split between Feeding America and Food Banks Canada. If you can give, these orgs need our help.”

Lively added on Instagram, “Though we must be distancing ourselves to protect those who don’t have the opportunity to self quarantine, we can stay connected. Remember the lonely and isolated. Facetime, Skype, make a video. Remember the love that can travel through all this.”

Dan Nisbet, vice president of Major Gifts at Feeding America, spoke to Variety.

“We are so grateful for Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s extremely generous donation, and for all of the donations we’ve been receiving. The Feeding America network of 200 food banks is working tirelessly to aid and provide meal assistance to our most vulnerable neighbors — children, the elderly, families struggling with food insecurity and individuals facing job disruptions — throughout our nation during this unprecedented time. Generosity like theirs will make all the difference.”

At this time we are all looking for some positive news and this one fits that category.
