MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has raised over 100,000 pounds ($124,410) to ensure vulnerable children who rely on free school meals every day are still fed now schools are closed due to the coronavirus lockdown.

Rashford, who said he depended on free meals as a child, issued a rallying cry and asked people to donate, working with charity organisation FareShare that distributes food to schools and community centres.

"There are people in worse situations than I was in as a kid," Rashford told The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/manchester-uniteds-marcus-rashford-making-sure-children-are-fed-during-lockdown-586gg37nw."They're not even getting that second meal at home, so it's something I wanted to help with.
