World Central Kitchen and Feeding America are getting some hefty celebrity funding thanks to a GoFundMe created by Leonardo DiCaprio and Apple
The fund exists to support the work WCK and Feeding America are already doing cooking and distributing meals to those affected by COVID-19. “As we continue to monitor and map food gaps, we will partner with additional organizations and businesses that are helping to meet the need,” says the organization’s GoFundMe. “We recognize this need is great and believe that nobody should be without food.”
Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America, also outlined the looming hunger crisis: “Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 37 million people in this country did not have consistent access to nutritious meals — including 11 million children and 5.5 million seniors. These numbers are quickly rising, and it is critical that we rally together as a nation to support our neighbors during this time of great need.
