The money will go to food banks and supporting medical staffers with needed equipment.</p><figure id="attachment_15380498" class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img  data- data-src="/uploads/2020/03/rihanna-89.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/03/rihanna-89.jpg"></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/03/rihanna-89.jpg"></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>PARTYNEXTDOOR performs on the Main Stage at Wireless Festival 2018 at Finsbury Park in London.</span><span class="credit">Getty Images</span></figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded>
