Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively donate US$1 million to food banks' COVID-19 relief for the second time By Zach Harper Blake Lively have always been very generous, and their kindness has been even more appreciated during the coronavirus pandemic, which has seen them give back in incredible ways. They've just donated US$1 million (nearly CAD$1.3 million) to food banks to help with COVID-19 relief for the second time. Last year, the couple gave US$500,000 to both Feeding America and Food Banks Canada to help hungry North Americans dealing with food insecurity during the early days of the pandemic. Now, they've made two additional contributions of the same amount to each organization.
