Drew Brees famously was drawn to Louisiana after the impact of Hurricane Katrina. The Saints’ quarterback has done an incredible amount to become a heart of New Orleans.
Brees and his wife, Brittany, are looking to help out the state, which has been ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Breeses announced Thursday they will donate $5 million to Louisiana to help the state get through these rough times.
Brittany and I are committing $5,000,000 to the State of Louisiana in 2020. The priority now is helping our communities get through this tough time.
After considerable research and conversations with local organizations, we will be mobilizing our partnerships with Second Harvest Food Bank, Ochsner Health Systems, Walk-Ons, Jimmy Johns, Smalls Sliders and Waitr to prepare and deliver over 10,000 meals per day throughout Louisiana for as long as it takes to children on meal programs, seniors, and families in need. Let’s all do our part, maintain hope, and get through this together.
