In total, YG and co. are helping more than 100 families.

YG and his biz partner Sheron Barber tells TMZ, "Nothing prepares you for a situation like this, rather than sit by and wait for updates on how people in underserved circumstances are going to be assisted, we took the initiative to listen to the needs of families and provide all the necessary items to help them through Quarantine while still practicing social distance."

He's just the latest example of people -- famous or not -- stepping up to help out those less fortunate right now.
