AUSTIN, Texas (KTRK) -- Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila are making sure first responders fighting COVID-19 are well-equipped with the proper protection.

"We are passionate about helping first responders from our hometown Austin - Texas, Louisiana and nationwide as we combat this national pandemic," wrote Camila in an Instagram post.
