Wilson went on to share video of himself and other principals involved in the initiative addressing the situation during an appearance on CNBC.
Feeding America has estimated that a $1 donation can provide 10 meals. According to that remarkable statistic, Wilson and Ciara have pledged $1 million for the organization’s relief efforts.
As noted, these most recent efforts by Wilson and Ciara amid the devastating impacts to many families from the coronavirus pandemic was not their first. Earlier in March, the couple pledged funds to donate one million meals to Seattle’s Food Lifeline, a non-profit that serves the needs of food banks in the region.
As of Tuesday morning, there are 164,785 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University, with the death toll continuing to mount at a staggering rate with each passing day.
It goes without saying that the charitable acts from the likes of Wilson and Ciara — among countless others from the sports world — undoubtedly are making a huge difference in the ongoing relief efforts amid the pandemic. The hope is that their actions will inspire those with the means to help to do the same.
