The Power alum said there are a lot of parents in the United States who feed their children dinner but typically look to the schools to give them breakfast and lunch.
As for who she’ll be working with, Naughton is partnering up with Newark’s Kings Family Restaurant as well as Orange’s Southern Comfort Cafe for the next week.

Additionally, Cardi B revealed earlier this week that she was going to donate 20,000 meal replacement drinks for healthcare workers in New York City. Fans of the “Bodak Yellow” rapper know that she was one of the first celebrities to come out and say she was concerned about the coronavirus.
