Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are donating to charity before their wedding festivities reportedly kick off Thursday  at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The couple have donated $26 million to charities across the United States, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News. ABC News is also reaching out to the charities.

City Harvest, New York City's first and largest food rescue organization, shared a press release on Thursday revealing that the couple donated $1 million to the organization.

City Harvest CEO Jilly Stephens said in a statement, "This donation is a love letter to New York, and a bold commitment to our efforts to ensure that no New Yorker goes hungry."

Taylor and Travis' first wedding-related event will be held at MSG Thursday around 6 p.m. ET, with a guest list of about 100 people, sources familiar with the plans told ABC News earlier this week.

Details about the event have been kept under wraps.

On Friday, a second event will take place at the arena, starting around 4 p.m. ET with a cocktail hour, according to the sources. One thousand people are expected to be in attendance, the sources said, and the event isn't scheduled to end until 4 a.m. Saturday.

The sources said both events will have a strict no-phone policy for everyone inside the venue, including guests, vendors and security personnel.
