Joe Burrow has made it his mission to fight food insecurity and feed hungry people since before he was even in the NFL as he gave a powerful call to action in his Heisman Trophy acceptance speech back in 2019. And now that he is in the NFL as a star quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, he is still making that his mission.
According to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN, Joe Burrow has made a very generous donation to fight food insecurity at three separate school programs in Athen and Cincinnati, Ohio as well as Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
“Bengals QB Joe Burrow and Kodiak Cakes are joining forces to fight food insecurity by donating nearly 30,000 meals to three separate school programs within Athens, Baton Rouge, and Cincinnati. Burrow – No.9 – and Kodiak will donate 9,999 meals to each program,” Schefter said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Burrow is preparing for the upcoming NFL season as he looks to bounce back from a season-ending wrist injury that sidelined him for the majority of the 2023 season. But even as he focuses on football, it looks like he still has time to help people out.
