New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees announced Thursday that he and his wife Brittany are donating $5 million to the state of Louisiana in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“The priority now is helping our communities get through this tough time,” the NFL legend wrote on Instagram.
According to the post, the Brees family will be working with a handful of organizations and companies to provide 10,000 meals per day to children, families and seniors in need “for as long as it takes.”
He named Second Harvest Food Bank, Ochsner Health Systems, Walk-Ons, Jimmy Johns, Small Sliders and Waitr as partners in the endeavor. “Let’s all do our part, maintain hope and get through this together,” Brees added.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, who earlier this week requested and received a major disaster declaration for his state from President Trump, thanked Brees on Twitter. “We are all grateful for your family’s support and generosity through this trying time,” the governor wrote. “We are one Louisiana and we will get through this, together.”

New Orleans Mayor Blames TRUMP for Her Failure to Shut Down Mardi Gras Over Coronavirus
No. The Chocolate City is one of the highest recipients per capita of food stamp programs.
If she is defeated, it won’t change anything. The voters would just elect someone that is stupid as her or stupider to replace her. No Nation can long withstand the idiots that the voters are putting in Public Offices and survive. But that is just my opinion.
GEAUX SAINTS
Reading comprehension is not your strong suit.
The money went to Ochsner Hospital, and the restaurants he’s part owner of.
Not a single government entity was given money.
And you’re full of crap about NOLA. But then again every Ole Myth “grad” is full of crap.
And the Saints played in Tulane Stadium before the Dome not “Eau due bullshit” stadium.
You don’t own this forum.
The people who need the meals will never see them once the money gets into the government’s hands. They’d have done better to give it to a local restaurant/s to help pay employees and give meals to the community.

You DID read the article, did you not?
Maybe a beneficial, wholly unintended consequence of this Communist Chinese Coronavirus Pandemic will be that:
NO AMERICAN WILL EVER VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT AGAIN!
Perhaps their generosity will inspire others?
Just sayin’.

Does that answer your question?
No. I never posed a question. Thank you for the info.
I took this as a question: “I would have given it to private charities to feed the poor as the State always finds a way to waste or misappropriate most of it.”
One of them made $2 Billion last Tuesday!
Source?
Did you see a question mark?
No, I didn’t read it. Figured it said the same as the last dozen threads on this where none of that was mentioned.
Geez us
What a tacky lady you are sweetie
I don’t know you...never seen your nick before
And I’m going to refrain from going full bore on you since you’re a split tail ...I know it’s a Mississippi thing you won’t get
But your comments about Tulane stadium belies your own ignorance honey
And it’s you with the reading comprehension issues
Look it up
History of Tulane stadium....you can google it.....shucks you might get the references
Thanks for playing dear....I doubt you’re old enough to have gone to Tulane stadium
I made it clear Jim Thompson is the owner....something tells me you don’t get that any more than you would moose or cheese or series or a Hurtgen or CGEB or Eschoir and so forth
Yep - quite a contrast...
