Drew Brees and wife Brittany made a $5 million donation in April for coronavirus pandemic relief, and some of those funds have been set aside to open up a food bank in Lafayette, La.

The New Orleans Saints quarterback laid out the initiative in a statement, as relayed by TMZ Sports.

“With many of our donations through the COVID crisis we have been able to establish facilities and programs that will last far beyond the existing need,” Brees said.

“We are excited to announce a new Second Harvest Food Bank kitchen in partnership with Catholic Charities of Acadiana in Lafayette, LA that will allow us to produce 15,800 meals per week for children, families, and seniors in need, as well as the homeless throughout southwest Louisiana!”
