Hurricane Milton made landfall along Florida's Gulf Coast as a Category 3 hurricane on Wednesday (October 9) evening, and many celebrities have already given large donations to help restore The Sunshine State as locals attempt to rebuild, including Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.
According to Page Six, the pair donated a whopping $1 million to Feeding America's Disaster Relief Fund on Thursday (October 10) following a $5 million donation made by bestie Taylor Swift. The organization took to Instagram to thank the A-list pair, referring to them as "longtime supporters."
"We thank Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for donating $1 million to our disaster relief fund for Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Their longtime support of Feeding America in times of crisis has helped our network on the ground before, during and after disasters."
So where exactly will all this money be going?
Funding America assured that Lively and Reynolds' donation would go towards supplying food and water to local food banks across impacted areas as Florida residents (those that were able to evacuate and those that were not) proceed to pick up the pieces of their communities and homes destroyed in the deadly storm.
The organization also issued a similar thank you message to Swift prior to the Gossip Girl alum and Deadpool star's generous donation. For more on Taylor Swift's donation to Hurricane Milton relief organizations, read: Taylor Swift Donates $5 Million For Hurricane Relief: 'Incredibly Grateful'
