Blake Shelton is pitching in to help ensure that Oklahoma families struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic get enough to eat.

This week, the country superstar revealed plans to donate $150,000 to the “Give from Home Day” fundraiser, a partnership between Oklahoma City ABC affiliate news station KOCO 5 and the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.

The fundraiser totaled over $400,000, which will provide relief for those hit hardest by the shutdown.

“A lot of Oklahomans are going to bed hungry tonight. That’s not something I can live with,” Blake said in a video message. “That’s why I’m going to be donating to the Regional Food Bank, the Oklahoma Food Bank.”

In addition to expressing compassion for those in need in his home state, Shelton called on viewers to chip in what they could in support of the cause.
