Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan announced a $100,000 donation to help needy citizens in Atlanta amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The donation will send $50,000 each to the Atlanta Community Food Bank and the Giving Kitchen, the latter of which provides assistance to food service workers.

“Obviously there’s a ton of stuff going on right now with a lot of areas that need a lot of help, and we certainly have a lot of friends in the restaurant and food industry here in Atlanta," Ryan told ESPN's Vaughn McClure.
