PSG makes a donation to Action Against Hunger

Paris Saint-Germain has donated 100,000 euros ($108,000) to the Action Against Hunger charity amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The money provides charity workers helping those at risk with protective equipment such as surgical masks, goggles, gloves, gowns, gels and thermometers.

The Parc des Princes has been operating as a support base for the charity in the Greater Paris region.

PSG says club volunteers have helped charity staff make, assemble and store hygiene kits and health equipment for those most at risk. More than 2,000 people have benefited from hygiene and household kits.

PSG president Nasser al-Khelafi says the charity's wide-ranging work in many fields is more essential than ever.
