Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds contribute $1 million to aid Hurricane Milton relief efforts
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are showing their support during a difficult time.
After Hurricane Milton slammed through Florida nearly two weeks after Hurricane Helene’s destruction, the Gossip Girl alum and Deadpool star made a $1 million donation to Feeding America—a network of food banks, food pantries and local meal programs.
“Thank you to the amazing people on the ground providing essential needs for families who’ve lost so much in this brutal disaster,” Blake and Ryan—parents to daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, and son Olin—told E! News in an Oct. 10 statement. “Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the double tragedy of these hurricanes. If you’re able to get involved, check out the Feeding America website for more info.”
And CEO of the charity Claire Babineaux-Fontenot expressed gratitude for their contribution.
“Their longtime support of Feeding America in times of crisis has helped our network on the ground before, during and after disasters,” she shared in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, Oct. 10. “These funds will help food banks provide basic needs like water, ready to eat food and supplies to communities facing heartbreaking loss and a long recovery.”
