“They told us they heard our drivers were overloaded and wanted to volunteer to lighten the drivers’ workload,” Project Angel Food’s executive director told ET.
“I am blown away that they chose us,” he added. “They care about our vulnerable population. Our clients are most at risk to contract the coronavirus, having compromised immune systems including heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and most are over the age of 60.”
NFL lineman Ron Leary also donated 100,000 meals to those in need in the Memphis area.
