A post shared by Blake Lively (@blakelively) on

Here is what the statement reads: “COVID-19 has brutally impacted older adults and low-income families. Ryan and I are donating $1M to be split between @feedingamerica and @foodbankscanada. If you can give, these orgs need our help.

Though we must be distancing ourself to protect those who don’t have the opportunity to self-quarantine, we can stay connected. 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 and feeding the children. We can all do something for another, even if that's simply staying home.

Sending so much love. Now can anyone please tell Ryan that “Emotional distancing” from his mother-in-law is not a thing. Nothing can save him.”
