According to Daily Mail, the 42-year-old rapper donated money to two non-profit organizations that help feed people in need. One, the Dream Centre, located in his adopted home of Los Angeles, while the other, We Women Empowered, in his original hometown of Chicago.
His contribution to We Women Empowered will help expand its services of providing meals to the elderly. Founder Josephine Wade said she was ‘beyond words’ when she learned of West’s game-changing offer. “And in one call, in an instant today, our world has changed” she said.
West’s contribution to Dream Centre will help provide meals at its drive-through meal service for people affected by the coronavirus outbreak. The charity currently provides about 7,000 meals a day, but it’s expected to grow to about 9,000 as the pandemic fears persist. Daily Mail reports.
With these acts of charity, West joins the list of stars like Ryan Reynolds, TV host, Kelly Ripa, amongst others donating to victims affected by covid-19 pandemic.
