Although many of us may be facing hardships during these unprecedented times, NFL players are helping ease the difficulties some are dealing with.
Here are just some of the wonderful things NFL players are doing:
- Chicago Bears Allen Robinson knows that many students rely on schools to provide sustenance and with schools closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Robinson is making sure that these kids and their families do not go hungry. His foundation The Within Reach Foundation has started a fundraiser to ensure kids are given meals through the Chicago Food Depository.  Robinson is even matching all donations up to $12,000 in honor of his jersey number. To donate go to https://givebox.com/12for12
