Snake River Farms normally sells its high-end beef to restaurants, but with those closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, it will donate the meat instead.

Deliveries will also be made to La Cocina, Self Help for the Elderly, Meals on Wheels and public housing sites.

"They will be extremely surprised and grateful especially to have meat on the table," Susan Murphy, from Faces SF, told ABC News after picking up 600 steaks to take to a food drive. The company said in a statement it knows food can bring comfort in a crisis and it wanted affected communities in California to know how much they mean to the company.Last week, Snake River Farms and Port Washington's Prime Food Distributor announced they would be donating 50,000 premium American Wagyu steaks to frontline healthcare workers based in New York. The steaks will be packaged and delivered to Northwell hospitals daily until supplies are exhausted.

The meat will be prepared and cooked by hospital chefs where possible and also packaged for staff to take home and share with their families.
