Good morning,
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are putting the “power” in “power couple” by raising funds for COVID-19 relief.
The duo announced on social media Sunday they will begin selling “quarantine wine” with 100% of all purchases going toward COVID-19 response charities, organizations and grassroots efforts.
More specifically, Kutcher and Kunis said they’re looking for charities getting personal protective equipment into the U.S., charities helping children receive meals and businesses that are taking hits. America's Food Fund, Direct Relief, The Frontline Responders Fund and Give Directly have already been identified as partners.
Wine is something the couple has frequently been including in their virtual dates and friend gatherings, Kutcher said. With money going toward such important causes, it’s likely other couples will begin to follow Kutcher and Kunis’ lead.
