The Saints might be facing life after Drew Brees, but not the city of New Orleans

The New Orleans Saints might be dealing with the reality of life after Drew Brees, but fortunately for the city of New Orleans, the future Hall of Famer is still entrenched in the city well after hanging up his cleats.

Shortly after Drew Brees joined the New Orleans Saints in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2006, he immediately started giving back to the New Orleans Community. Shortly after arriving in New Orleans, Brees and his foundation helped raise over $1.5 million to re-build schools, parks, playgrounds, and more that were damaged during Katrina. Fast forward 14 years, and Drew Brees and his wife personally donated $5 million dollars to local food banks in the peak of the coronavirus pandemic.
