Kaepernick donates $50K to Meals on Wheels
Meals on Wheels has confirmed a $50,000 donation from former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The group that provides food for seniors in need thanked Kaepernick for his donation on Tuesday. It came a day after President Donald Trump took a swipe at Kaepernick during a campaignstyle rally in Kentucky by taking credit for the lack of suitors for the free agent. Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the national anthem ahead of 49ers games last season became a topic of national debate.
Meals on Wheels faces a sharp funding cut under Trump’s proposed budget.
