The Brees couple announced that they are donating $5 million to multiple charity organizations that will in turn provide, prepare and deliver 10,000 meals per day to folks in Louisiana in need from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
According to a post on Drew Brees Instagram, Drew and Brittany have teamed up with Second Harvest Food Bank, Ochsner Health Systems, Walk-Ons, Jimmy Johns, Small Sliders, and Waitr to prepare and deliver the meals. The post goes on to say that the meals will carry on as long as it takes to children on meal programs, seniors and families in need.
