The couple donated $100,000 US each to the four of New York City’s hardest-hit hospitals, E! adds, which include Elmhurst, NYU Hospital, Mount Sinai, and Northern Westchester. A source told the publication that Reynolds and Lively want “to continue encouraging people around the country to help their communities, local hospitals, and healthcare workers during this time.”
“Covid-19 has brutally impacted older adults and low-income families,” Lively wrote in an Instagram post. “Ryan & I are donating $1 million to be split between @feedingamerica and @foodbankscanada. If you can give, these orgs need our help.
“Though we must be distancing ourselves to protect those who don’t have the opportunity to self-quarantine, we can stay connected,” she continued. “Remember the lonely and isolated. FaceTime, Skype, make a video. Remember the love that can travel through all this. Communities are stepping up — shopping for the elderly, making lunches for children. We can all do something for one another, even if that’s simply staying home.”
