Ciara and Russell Wilson has opted to donate $1 million to a Seattle area non profit, Food Lifeline. Food Lifeline helps get food to underprivileged areas through food banks, shelters or other meal programs across the state.
“Obviously this worldwide pandemic, the coronavirus, is changing the world, second by second, minute by minute. People are losing loved ones…the elderly, people in between,” Wilson said on Instagram.
“People losing jobs…even in Seattle, our friends at Alaska Airlines, Seattle Children’s hospital, all these places are being affected all over the world,” he continued.
“We want to encourage everyone out there to join us in whatever way you can, big or small. Everything makes a difference,” Ciara said.
“Everything we do together makes a difference, and together we will conquer this tough time we’re going through. We have faith, and we want to encourage everyone else out there to keep the faith. Also practice social distancing, and be blessed. We’re praying for everyone out there. Love you guys,” she added.
Ciara and Russell Wilson are not the first public figures to pitch in during these trying times. Lecrae has worked to install hand washing stations across Atlanta and Kodak Black has donated books to youth across Florida.
