Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has donated $25,000 toward providing meals to kids who haven't been able to get food while schools have closed because of COVID-19.

With schools closed because of the coronavirus, Kyler Murray has stepped in to help children who counted on school meals to be fed on a daily basis.

The Cardinals' quarterback announced Thursday he is donating $25,000 to GENYOUth for its COVID-19 Emergency School Nutrition Fund. The fund buys resources that allow school meal programs to continue while schools remain closed.

Murray becomes the latest with the Cardinals to aid in COVID-19 relief. Linebacker Chandler Jones bought meals for people both in Arizona and his hometown in New York. DeAndre Hopkins donated $150,000 to the coronavirus relief fund here in Arizona, a fund that was helped started by the $1 million donation by the Cardinals' organization. The Cardinals also are donating a million meals to needy people hit by the coronavirus, and helped organize multiple blood drives at State Farm Stadium.

Play-by-play announcer Dave Pasch organized twitter connections to help those in need get their bills paid. The Cardinals also have cheerleaders who are nurses in this time of crisis.
