Hi #ParksAndRec fans. In a little over 16 hours, you have donated $2.8 million to food banks across America. This is wonderful. Thank you.

Donations open until May 21 at https://t.co/Hainxlbhpu. The Special is available for viewing on Hulu, Peacock, and other platforms.

"All together, they will give up to $500,000 in matching donations."

don't be shy put some more

[analievelyn]

lmao fuck. ew @crisp rat getting positive press lol

Don't forget

The amount of people who worship Parks and Rec and Amy Poehler is immense. I'm sure if she rattled off a tweet to donate that alone could save UCB. https://t.co/r94DWjwOy3

Reading about the closure of UCB NY and how there was never any money to pay performers and can't help but remember when Amy Poehler could afford to use 2,700 gallons of water a day during a drought. https://t.co/xE7JRM2yqU

gen x is so disappointing

mte i loved parks and rec back in the day, very much so, but i couldn't fully enjoy it knowing all this stuff

[crimps4]

Same, the special was nice but tainted by a lot of cast bullshit.

[littlebones]

are they donating $500k each or something... because that's not matching donations if fans raised $2m.

i'm getting tired of celebs doing this fan drive thing, like please literally open your own wallets.

[handsdowntoo]

Same. I feel like any celeb that reposts anything asking for donations should have to tell me how much they donated. Half of them probably don't donate at all and others donate what would be considered pennies compared to their net worth.

[rabbitncavylove]

They are matching donations up to 500k total, not each.

The special was not good and it was gross seeing Aziz. Also, Adam Scott looked so unwell. Someone needs to go check on him.

[littlebones]

seriously wear a ball cap if you can't cut your own hair dude

Why was it so greasy?! He looked like he lost weight too, and he didn’t have any to spare to begin with.
