Meanwhile, 23-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams has announced her decision to donate thousands of face masks to the people in need. While on a quest to locate some masks for herself, she could not find any. Realizing this was a huge problem, she decided to come up with this generous project to help those in need.

“We have to wear a mask to do all of our daily activities like going to grocery stores. When I went to get a mask, I couldn’t find one. So If I couldn’t get one what about others? This is why I started this,” she said. Her company S by Serena has partnered with Bella Canvas to supply 45,000 face covers to the needy ones of the society.
