Oprah Winfrey Donates $10 Million to Coronavirus Relief Efforts

Oprah Winfrey announced that she is donating $10 million to help with coronavirus relief.

Winfrey spoke to chef José Andrés, the founder of World Central Kitchen, and Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America, and revealed her donation.

Winfrey said $9 million of her pledge will be divided among charities close to her, including the Boys and Girls Club in Kosciusko, Mississippi.

The other $1 million will go to America’s Food Fund, which is aimed to help low-income families, the elderly, individuals facing job disruptions and children who rely on school lunch programs.

“I know not everybody can donate a million dollars, but I feel like this is the central place to [donate to] if you really want to do something,” Winfrey said. “I know I can trust my money in your hands”, she said.
