Christian Pulisic teams up with USMNT teammates to make donation to American food charity

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic has joined his USMNT teammates Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams in their efforts to help Americans affected by the coronavirus crisis.

The 21-year-old has announced that he and his friends have made a donation to Feeding America, an organisation that supports thousands of food banks across the USA.

"I know it's been some crazy times out there. I hope you guys are all able to stay safe," Pulisic said in a video he posted to Twitter. "It's a really important time that we all need to come together and help those that are most in need.

"Before the coronavirus, there were already 37 million Americans with food insecurity and obviously with this virus going around, that's just going to grow substantially.

"It's a really important time and I would just like to announce that I've donated to Feeding America, who already support over 60,000 food banks all over the country and do such an amazing job for so many people.

"I'd like to challenge my colleagues, my U.S. Men's National Team team-mates, U.S. Women's National Team and any of you guys who are able to donate anything.

"Every penny counts. Let's stick together, let's do this."

According to most recent reports, there are at least 21,000 cases of the coronavirus in the United States, with 275 deaths recorded.
