San Francisco, April 5 (TIWN) Amazon Founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has announced to donate $100 million to US food banks to help them feed a growing number of out-of-job Americans during the ongoing new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Amazon (AMZN) CEO donated to Feeding America, a Chicago-based nonprofit with more than 200 food banks across the United States.
Bezos posted to Instagram a photo of a food bank, captioning it, "Even in ordinary times, food insecurity in American households is an important problem, and unfortunately Covid-19 is amplifying that stress." He noted that restaurants are closed, and many churches that provide free meals are closed too, because of social distancing mandates.
