Gloria Carter released a statement

In times of crisis it is imperative that we come together as one community to ensure that everyone, especially the most vulnerable, has access to critical needs: shelter, health, nutrition, and education. The only way to get through this pandemic is with love and action.

It will also provide help to assist daycares, learning supplies, food and supplies for children of healthcare workers and first responders.

Rihanna also announced she is donating an additional $5 million to organizations like Feeding America, World Health Organization, and in her native land of Barbados.
