According to charity's website,^[1] the proceeds from the ALL IN Challenge will go to the nonprofit organizations "Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry and America's Food Fund, which is directly benefiting Feeding America and World Central Kitchen."

The description continues:

Each of these nonprofit organizations has one goal in mind – to eliminate food insecurity during these challenging times. More than ever before, families will struggle to provide food as tens of millions are out of work, kids are out of school, many are at risk of losing their income, and our most vulnerable elderly population is self-isolating. 100% of all funds raised will be donated directly to the charity partners that are tackling food insecurities.
