Mr. Beast, the YouTube sensation known for his extravagantly expensive stunts, has once again shown how much he cares by donating over $1 million worth of food to various food banks affected by the CoViD-19 crisis.
Food banks are dependent on donations from the public to enable them to provide meals to those who need them most. Unfortunately, the current crises has made it difficult to find donors, made worse as many people took to panic buying and stockpiling goods while they shelter in place during the pandemic. The stockpiling trend has also left many stores with empty shelves and shortages of the basic necessities.
Mr. Beast and his friends are seen in his YouTube video, posted to his channel on March 27, unloading the pallets packed with meat that included bacon and hot dogs from the trucks. The team filled the freezers of the food banks with the food loaded into the Smithfield trucks before they departed for their destinations.
Mr. Beast starts the video by saying: “Due to recent events, lots of people have started to hoard food, and when you hoard food, you donate less.”
