Leonardo DiCaprio is helping out in a huge way.

The 45-year-old Titanic actor is joining Laurene Powell Jobs, Apple, and the Ford Foundation to launch America’s Food Fund with $12 million in response to the pandemic, Deadline reported Thursday (April 2).

The initiative will be hosted by GoFundMe, benefiting the World Central Kitchen (WCK) and Feeding America.

America’s Food Fund will “address the issue of food access in the United States and will provide funding relief to both organizations in furthering their missions to feed the country’s most vulnerable populations impacted by COVID-19, including children who rely on school lunch programs, low-income families, the elderly, and individuals facing job disruptions.”

“In the face of this crisis, organizations like World Central Kitchen and Feeding America have inspired us all with their unwavering commitment to feed the most vulnerable people in need. I thank them for their tireless work on the frontlines, they deserve all of our support,” Leonardo said.

Many stars are helping out amid the ongoing global health crisis – find out how.

Apple is trying to help out during the coronavirus pandemic.

Tim Cook to Twitter on Saturday (March 21) to announce that Apple will be donating several million industrial-grade respirator masks to health care organizations amid the shortage because of the virus.

“Our teams at Apple have been working to help source supplies for healthcare providers fighting COVID-19,” the 59-year-old CEO wrote. “We’re donating millions of masks for health professionals in the US and Europe. To every one of the heroes on the front lines, we thank you.”

If you missed it, this fashion designer has started making masks to donate to health care workers because of the outbreak.

Apple has announced that all of its stores around the world (other than in China) will be closed for the next two weeks amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Tim Cook, the company’s CEO, has written a letter to the world, which is available on Apple’s website. He notes that stores in China are reopening today as the rate of infections there is dramatically declining.

“I want to express my deep gratitude to our team in China for their determination and spirit. As of today, all of our stores in Greater China have reopened. I also want to thank our operations team and partners for their remarkable efforts to restore our supply chain. What we’ve learned together has helped us all develop the best practices that are assisting enormously in our global response,” he wrote in the letter.

He added, “One of those lessons is that the most effective way to minimize risk of the virus’s transmission is to reduce density and maximize social distance. As rates of new infections continue to grow in other places, we’re taking additional steps to protect our team members and customers.”

Tim says that all hourly employees will receive their normal pay during the closure and they’ve expanded leave policy to “accommodate personal or family health circumstances created by COVID-19 — including recovering from an illness, caring for a sick loved one, mandatory quarantining, or childcare challenges due to school closures.”

Apple is making a $15 million donation to help with the global COVID-19 response and the company will also match employee donations two-to-one.

Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has written a powerful essay for Business Week where he comes out as gay after much media speculation as to his personal life.

“I’ve come to realize that my desire for personal privacy has been holding me back from doing something more important. That’s what has led me to today,” the 53-year-old exec wrote. “While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven’t publicly acknowledged it either, until now. So let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.”

“Countless people, particularly kids, face fear and abuse every day because of their sexual orientation,” Tim continued, “So if hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it’s worth the trade-off with my own privacy.”
