Taylor Swift is continuing to give back to the community: While on the European leg of her record-breaking Eras World Tour, the international pop sensation, 34, has been quietly donating to various food-banks.
Rachel Biggs, CEO of Cardiff Food-bank, revealed to The Guardian that Swift’s donation is the largest individual contribution the organization has ever received.
While Biggs did not disclose the exact amount, she highlighted the transformative effect of Swift’s generosity. “The breathing space Taylor’s donation has given us will enable us to lift our heads and shift our focus from the food bank to the creation of a sustainable operation supporting people who currently need our help with support to address the root cause of poverty and financial support to set them on the path to not needing our aid any more,” Biggs told the outlet
Swift’s contribution will provide around 10,800 meals, feeding “1,200 people three meals a day, for three days.” Cardiff Food bank expressed their gratitude on Instagram, sharing a photo of the singer’s signature friendship bracelets inscribed with, “Thank you Taylor Love, Cardiff Food Bank.” They captioned the post, fittingly calling the donation “beyond our Wildest Dreams,” a nod to one of Swift’s hits from her album 1989.
