By Sam Dunn
The threat of coronavirus feels realer and realer every day, and communities around the country and the world are reeling from this new reality. For his part, Warriors superstar Steph Curry is striving to make sure that no one in the Bay Area has to go hungry during this difficult time. In a new video posted Friday night, he and his wife Ayesha expressed their support for the Alameda County Community Food Bank, calling for fans to make donations during this critical period.
Oakland is closing schools bc of COVID-19. We support this decision but are concerned a/b the 18,000+ kids that rely on school for 2+ meals daily. @eatlearnplay is donating to @ACCFB to ensure every child has access to the food they need.

Steph and Ayesha's Eat Learn Play Foundation is leading the charge, and it's encouraging to see that these two aren't waiting on the sidelines while fears over COVID-19 place additional strain on the most vulnerable among us.
2020 aint it. Don't know what to compare this situation to…just gotta buckle up and take care of yourself and those around you. Basketball will be back at some point but right now, protect yourself and stay safe out there!
