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.”

Boiler UP!
The Clintons donated some pizzas.
Some of them even had toppings.
Are people starving....
It kinda pissed me off when I saw the thread about the Clintoon grifters “donating” pizza to NYC health care workers!
Thought this act of Kindness and Charity by Drew and Brittany deserved a thread of its own!
Please feel FRee to trash the LIEberal Clintoons on this thread, too!
And be sure to praise the Brees family charity!
I love Drew Brees and his wife is gorgeous
I just don’t buy the starving bit...
Which is what food banks tout
Missing paychecks yes
Offer to pay bills and buy food
These starving people charities pimp the starving angle
Fattest nation on earth
If you don’t have anything nice or constructive to say, SAY NOTHING!
Good for him and his wife and they are Christians as I understand. 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.
Pikers! The Clintons donated 400 pizzas...hygienic, greasy finger food just ideal for communicating disease.
"Hey, you came to the Superdome, and I owe you for doing just that much. And if you came for a Saints game, so much the better."
"If you can have some etouffée, some chicken, beans & corn muffins to feed 10 for a weekend, then hell yeah..."
I heard that all of the doctors in the US are going to give 50% discounts for visits and procedures!
I did say something nice...I love Drew and his wifey is pretty....you just didn’t like the rest
These food banks are left wing organizations that exploit this notion folks are starving here
When they are not
Look around you.....waddle nation
They also along with some churches...enable this pandemic of alcoholic dope addicted crazed folks who have taken over all public lands in major cities and who local govt refuses to do anything about
So yes I prefer Drew not fund those asshats
Cause we ...people like me...have to deal with the bums and hobos who plague our communities and steal from us and thrown needles on the ground and poop where they may
Drew should have given his cash to help people more directly and avoid these left wing outfits whose agenda doesn’t fit with this forum
The truth hurts no matter how well intended
And you don’t own the forum....Jim Thompson does
Btw I’m from that area ....two hours north....I knew Archie personally from his high school days as his coach was a close friend of my dad and we were Ole Miss people...’81 me
I attended many a Saints game at the old steel stadium on the former grounds of Étienne de Boré as a lad...
So don’t even try ...
We are a Geaux family now for past 15 years college wise btw....I’ve always had Louisiana connects in Metairie and Uptown and Tensas parish up north
Oh and to get your spirits up
I thumbs up Oschners having been treated there in my youth for congenital heart crap
And I eat Jimmy Johns....good value
Don’t know the others...
Per Google, there are over 600 billionaires in the US. Where are they (oh yeah. The Gates Foundation gave a million to WA state....)
to “starve” in this country...you gotta be a weapons grade stupid and pathetic...
Total class!
Re: $5 million for meals
Very generous, and guided by a loving heart.
Unfortunately, the number one health problem for poor people under age 60 in the USA is - obesity!
Go fellow Boilermaker!!!!
Ain't THAT the truth !
