Skylar Astin, Dolores Catania, Julian Edelman and Isiah Thomas are helping to raise funds to deliver meals to Holocaust survivors unable to leave their homes during the coronavirus crisis.

The celebs and athletes have joined forces with 333 Charity and the UJA-Federation to teach a virtual total body conditioning workout class with Trooper Fitness to benefit survivors living in New York.

“Watching New York and the rest of the world get hit by the COVID-19 pandemic has been extremely difficult,” NBA hall-of-famer Thomas told Page Six in a statement. “Myself and my family are happy to work with 333 Charity and other organizations on Giving Tuesday to support meal deliveries for Holocaust survivors living in poverty during this difficult time.”

There are currently 36,000 Holocaust survivors living in the New York area, 40 percent of whom live in poverty, according to 333 Charity. “They have endured so much already and remain strong, so we are continuing this strength in support of them,” Evan Rosenberg, 333 Charity’s founder, told us.

The charity workout class will be streamed live at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday via Zoom. All proceeds will go toward providing meals for survivors in need.

There is a $20 minimum donation that can be made on 333 Charity’s website.
