In a post on social media, the food bank announced that Swift and Kelce had made a $1 million donation. Chief Development Officer Roger Castle thanked the couple in the video, saying their gift will help in their effort to provide food to more than 1.1 million people each month.



"Not only did they make an incredible contribution to the food bank and to other organizations throughout the country, but they inspire people all over to get involved and to share the love and to help be part of the solution, and that is worth as much as the donation itself, that motivating people to get involved and be part of the solution," said David May, the senior director of marketing with the L.A. Regional Food Bank.



Feeding America also shared a thank you online after receiving a $2 million donation from the couple.



Dolly Parton also took to social media to thank the couple for a generous $2 million gift to her charity, the Imagination Library, which is a book gifting program that mails free books to children.
