Colin Kaepernick is on a donation spree — and he doesn’t even have a job right now.
Following his $50,000 donation to the Love Army for Somalia earlier this month, Colin has donated ANOTHER $50,000 to Meals on Wheels America.
Thank you @Kaepernick7 for supporting seniors through your words and actions.https://t.co/2PBpeWh5lC

Since he began his social justice crusade last year, Kaepernick has donated an estimated $500,000 to assorted charities and community groups. On the free-agent quarterback’s website, kaepernick7.com, there is a running log of the donations he’s made.
In January, the last month listed on the site, Kaepernick donated $25,000 each to Brooklyn-based Black Veterans for Social Justice and 350.org, the Center for Reproductive Rights in New York, and the Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.
Since October, Kaepernick has donated $100,000 a month, mostly in $25,000 increments, to a variety of social and community programs dedicated to helping the less fortunate among us.
While President Donald Trump, among others, continues to rip Kaepernick for kneeling during the “Star-Spangled Banner” (and recently presented a federal budget that aims to de-fund programs like Meals on Wheels), Kaepernick has worked to improve the lives of veterans, poor people, minorities, women and immigrants.
It makes you wonder, exactly, who is really working to Make America Great, and who is full of it.
You go, Kaepernick.
