AceShowbiz - Ciara and Russell Wilson are helping those affected by coronavirus by donating one million meals to Seattle's Food Lifeline organisation.
The singer and her American football star husband made the announcement on Tuesday (17Mar20) amid the ongoing pandemic, which has left some families unable to provide food at home as people are urged to practice social distancing and stay indoors when possible.
"The world needs us ALL. These are unprecedented times," Ciara wrote on Instagram. "We are supporting our community in Seattle by donating 1 million meals with Seattle @FoodLifeLine. Rally with us and support your local food bank @FeedingAmerica We can all make a difference together. Let’s all keep the Faith during this difficult time."
Speaking in an accompanying video, NFL (National Football League) star Russell said: "All these places are being affected all around the world…we're going to donate a million meals and hopefully make a difference."
"Together we will conquer this tough time that we're going through together…practice social distancing and be blessed," the pregnant "Level Up" hitmaker added.
Many stars have been affected by coronavirus, with singer Charlotte Lawrence, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Idris Elba, and Olga Kurylenko testing positive for Covid-19.
Ciara and Russell's donation comes after Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively pledged $1 million (£820,000) to Feeding America and Food Banks Canada to help the organisations during the coronavirus pandemic.
