JJ Watt and Kealia Ohai Make Generous Donation to Houston Food Bank
By Sean Facey
The coronavirus outbreak has brought about tough times for plenty of people who were suddenly put out of work. Thankfully, athletes and stars have taken up the responsibility of providing for those in need.
The latest to do so are Houston Texans defensive lineman JJ Watt and his wife, Chicago Red Stars standout Kealia Ohai, who have donated $350,000 to the Houston Food Bank.
More generosity: @JJWatt and his wife @KealiaOhai have personally donated $350,000 to the @HoustonFoodBank, providing over one million meals for those in need during this unprecedented time.

The donation will help provide over a million meals for people in need of assistance.
It's just the latest example of the philanthropic tendencies of Watt and Ohai. The two of them have always been incredibly active in the Houston community, most notably in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, when Watt in particular help raised millions of dollars for the relief effort.
Their generosity and the giving spirit of other athletes like Zion Williamson, Kevin Love and Giannis Antetokounmpo is truly inspiring. It's a heartwarming reminder of the power that athletes have to make the community a better place.
This is still a pretty good league:

Kevin Love, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Blake Griffin, Zion Williamson ... all pledging money to help arena workers in need
Hopefully their charity inspires other people (cough: owners) across the sports world to use their resources to help those in need.
