Cardi B donated 20,000 bottles of OWYN — a plant-based, vegan meal-supplement drink — to New York City-area hospitals for their medical staffs and ambulance crews, a rep for the rapper confirmed to Variety. TMZ first reported the news.
While a “meal supplement” does not sound extravagant, given the realities of the coronavirus pandemic that has overwhelmed the country’s medical professionals and hospital system — of which New York is by far the most heavily affected — a quick, nutritious and filling meal on the go is realistically the best option for many doctors and hospital and ambulance workers while they’re on the job.
Anyone looking to donate to people in the music profession is directed to this guide ..., and to MusiCares’ COVID-19 Relief fund for more general ones.
