California Strong, the organization founded by Milwaukee Brewers outfielders Ryan Braun and Christian Yelich, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff, Cincinnati Reds second baseman Mike Moustakas, and Mike Attanasio, is helping those in need during the coronavirus pandemic.

The group announced Wednesday it will be donating 100,000 meals through Feeding America.

The group said this is the first of multiple initiatives to provide support during the outbreak.

"We have plans to help out in other ways that we'll continue to keep you guys apprised of, but we just wanted everybody to know we're thinking about you," Braun said. "We're all in this together, we'll stay strong together, we'll get through this together, and we're sending love and positive energy."

Figures and organizations across the sports world are stepping up to aid relief efforts in reaction to the new coronavirus, including Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price, and now California Strong.
