A Parks and Recreation Special Could Not Have Been Better

Amy Poehler and the cast of her old series, “Parks and Recreation,” did more than give fans a thrill with their video chat reunion episode Thursday. They also raised $3.5 million for the food bank charity Feeding America where fans can continue to contribute themselves through May 21.

Amy Poehler and Chris Pratt’s virtual Parks and Recreation special has already raised more than $3 million (£2.4 million) to help non-profit Feeding America amid the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s only been a day since the Parks and Recreation Special aired and it has already raised a ton of money for Feeding America.

The cast of the beloved sitcom reunited last night (April 30) to raise money for Feeding America

It seems like the long-awaited reunion promised to Leslie Knope in the series finale of “Parks and Recreation” — “It will happen, someday,” her husband, played by Adam Scott, says — has finally arrived.

The cast of popular comedy Parks And Recreation reunited for a one-off special in aid of the coronavirus relief effort.

The citizens of Pawnee, Indiana, are practicing social distancing like the rest of the country, but leave it to Leslie Knope to bring them all together.

All it took was one email from Mike Schur, the co-creator of Parks and Recreation, to get the gang back together again. But to accomplish the scripted special, it took weeks of work and a village of helpers.
