Taylor Swift donates generously to food banks amid Eras Tour »

• Taylor Swift makes generous donations to food banks amid Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift started her long-awaited Eras Tour this weekend, and she has been making ‘generous’ gifts to food banks along the route.

Swift, who is now performing in sold-out stadiums, is said to have made a gift to the Arizona Food Bank Network.

According to its website, the particular group helps five regional food banks and about 1,000 food pantries and nonprofits.

“It’s not every day that you get a call from someone who works for Taylor Swift, so we were dubious at first, but happily, it turned out to be absolutely real,” Terri Shoemaker, vice president of external relations at the organization, told local outlet AZ Central.

She added that Swift’s PR representative said the singer intended to keep up her charitable streak and hoped to “have a positive effect on the communities” while on tour.

“Donations like this from very high-profile people like Taylor Swift help denote that hunger is still a problem in the U.S. It’s here and it’s a problem across the country,” Shoemaker said.

“We don’t know about you, but we’re feeling grateful on this day, March 22!” they wrote on Instagram. “@TaylorSwift has made a generous gift to Three Square, allowing us to provide thousands of meals to families and individuals struggling with hunger. Thank you to Ms. Swift for supporting our mission and the local community.”

Swift will headline several concerts in Nevada this weekend.
