Ciara and Russell Wilson Donating a Million Meals to Seattle Food Bank

NFL star Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara are helping out their community during the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
 

 
The couple announced that they will be donating a million meals to a local food bank to aid in relief efforts during the outbreak.
 

 
Wilson began the video by noting how the coronavirus outbreak is “changing the world second by second, minute by minute,” saying, “People are losing loved ones. The elderly and the young. The people in between. You think about people losing jobs — even in Seattle.”
 

 
“What we’ve decided to do is partner up with our local food bank in Seattle, Seattle Food LifeLine, and we’re gonna donate a million meals [and] hopefully make a difference."
 

 
Ciara said, “We want to encourage everyone out there to join us in whatever way that you can, big or small. Everything makes a difference. Everything that we do together makes a difference.
 

 
“Together, we will conquer this tough time we are going through,” to which Wilson added, “We will.”
 

 
The two stars ended the message by encouraging fans to “keep the faith” and “practice social distancing” during the ongoing health crisis.
