On Thursday, it was announced that they have donated $26 million to a host of charities\u2014including children\u2019s hospitals, food banks, and educational programs\u2014in New York and throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>According to a press release as reported by multiple outlets, the charities include: City Harvest in New York City; Food Bank For NYC; New York Cares; Los Angeles Regional Food Bank; Harvesters \u2013 The Community Food Network, Kansas City, MO.; The Store, Nashville, TN; Helping Harvest, Reading, PA; Rhode Island Community Food Bank; Feeding America; ASPCA; Dolly Parton\u2019s Imagination Library; Grammy In The Schools; Education Through Music, New York, NY; Answer The Call, New York, NY; and Musical Mentors, New York, NY.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these organizations are in areas that hold special meaning for Swift and Kelce, and the number of New York City-based charities seems to be the latest clue that the wedding is indeed happening in the city.<\/p>\n<p>For now, they seem to be kicking off celebrations with an impressively generous wedding gift for those in need. What else do they have in store? Only time (and hard-to-get paparazzi shots) will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s upcoming wedding has one rule that we know of: \u201cAbsolutely no gifts,\u201d according&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522186,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46,5099,5101,33755],"class_list":["post-522185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-textaboveleftsmall","tag-web","tag-weddings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522185"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522185\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
