The 'Parks and Recreation' reunion song was the most beautiful thing since Lil' Sebastian
Watch Next

Communities and friends band together in tough times — if anyone knows that, it's the former employees of the Parks and Recreation department of Pawnee, Indiana. The core cast of Parks and Recreation reunited for a socially distant special on Thursday to raise money for Feeding America.

When Leslie (Amy Poehler) lets on that phone trees and media outreach might be slightly tiring her out both mentally and emotionally, Ron (Nick Offerman) knows exactly what to do. He merges their video call to include all of Leslie's best friends as they join in a chorus of "5,000 Candles In The Wind." The rendition quickly put a smile on Leslie's face and ours as well. Sometimes a quick singalong with friends — even fictional ones — is all you need for a little uplift.

You can contribute to Feeding America at this link and watch Parks and Recreation streaming on Netflix or Hulu.
