Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Donates $100M to Feeding America to Help U.S. Food Banks Amid Coronavirus

Jeff Bezos is doing what he can to help those in need amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Amazon CEO, 56, announced on Instagram on Thursday that he would be donating $100 million to Feeding America, a hunger-relief organization, in order to help the families who rely on food banks and have been majorly impacted by the virus. “Even in ordinary times, food insecurity in American households is an important problem, and unfortunately COVID-19 is amplifying that stress significantly,” he wrote on Instagram. Bezos went on to explain that nonprofit food banks and pantries often rely on surplus food from restaurants and other businesses, but they have been unable to do so because COVID-19 has forced closures and social distancing.
