The Penguins announced defenseman Kris Letang and his wife Catherine made an unspecified donation intended to provide meals to the Students and Families Food Relief Fund and the Knead Community Cafe, allowing both organizations to provide meals during the covid-19 pandemic.
The Students and Families Food Relief Fund was created in March by a $1 million donation from the PNC Foundation to the United Way of Southwestern Pittsburgh.
The Knead Community Cafe is a registered charitable organization based in New Kensington.
“As parents, my wife Catherine and I can’t imagine the hardship of children going hungry,” Letang said in a statement. “We knew that we wanted to give back to the Pittsburgh community during this difficult time and helping children secure a healthy meal and avoid hunger was the perfect fit for us.”
