Once again Apple offers its help to all those who are having a hard time because of the pandemic generated by COVID-19. On this occasion, the initiative did not originate from the American company, but he has not hesitated to join her. The America's Food fund was created by actor Leonardo DiCaprio and Laurene Powell Jobs.
America's Food aims to generate access to food in this time of crisis
Some of the consequences that the coronavirus health crisis is having is that it is generating in turn economic and social crisis. Taking into account that people must be confined to their homes, many of them will not receive economic income and therefore will not be able to access basic food. If we add to this the psychosis of buying and hoarding, the outlook is not very encouraging for the most disadvantaged.
The project launched a campaign to acquire money and thus be able deliver food in perfect condition and that will be distributed through World Central Kitchen and Feeding America.
By the way, Spain also has a little contribution, as both companies are owned by the chef Jose Andres.
Moment they have managed to raise 12 million dollars, but they want to reach 15 million and Apple is proud to be part of this project. This has been made known by Tim Cook, CEO of Apple through the social network Twitter.

We can only overcome this crisis if we ensure that each person have the essentials you need to take care of yourself, your families, and the vulnerable people in your lives.
It is to be thankful that those who have more, come to light sharing with those who have less or have difficulties in accessing essential elements of daily life. Manzana has not stopped taking the initiative in this altruistic aspect.
