Jeff Bezos is giving one non-profit a very generous gift.

The Amazon CEO announced on his Instagram page that he was gifting $100 million to Feeding America.

"Today, I want to support those on the front lines at our nation’s food banks and those who are relying on them for food," Bezos said in the post. "Feeding America will quickly distribute the funds to their national network of food banks and food pantries, getting food to those countless families who need it.⁣"

CNN spoke to Feeding America, who said that food banks are reporting a 40 percent increase in demand due to unemployment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
