*As the impact from the worldwide #coronavirus pandemic continues, many are doing what they can to help those in need—including a few A-list celebrities.
#KanyeWest is the latest high-profile name to lend a helping hand by donating to charities in both Chicago and Los Angeles by providing meals to those in need.
Earlier this week, People Magazine reported Kanye West donated to the “Dream Center” in Los Angeles as well as “We Women Empowered” in his Chicago hometown to help residents from going hungry due to the lack of food stemming from the coronavirus outbreak. Kanye reportedly gave an undisclosed amount to each charity to ensure that meals were provided for children, families and the elderly affected by the highly contagious disease.
We Women Empowered, led by Josephine “Mother” Wade, plans to use Kanye’s donation to deliver three meals a day to the elderly on the southside of Chicago, where he grew up. The organization will provide support to Chicago neighborhoods.
