Viola Davis, the esteemed Oscar and Emmy-winning actress, remains steadfast in her commitment to alleviating the pervasive issue of childhood hunger in the United States. In a continued partnership with the Albertsons Companies Foundation and the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), Davis is set to champion the Hunger Is “Hungry for More” campaign.
Having experienced firsthand the profound impact of growing up hungry, Davis underscores the importance of ensuring that children nationwide have consistent access to nutritious meals. “It’s incredibly important for me to be working in partnership with the Hunger Is initiative,” says Davis, emphasizing the urgency of drawing attention to this critical issue and inspiring actionable solutions for children to thrive. This year, the collaboration aims to provide five million breakfasts to children in need, building on the success of the previous Hunger Is campaign.
The “Hungry for More” initiative extends across participating Albertsons Companies throughout the country, offering individuals a meaningful opportunity to contribute to hunger relief efforts within their communities. Davis’s dedication to addressing childhood hunger stems from her own experiences growing up in abject poverty in Rhode Island, shaping her profound empathy for those facing similar struggles. Through her involvement in initiatives like Hunger Is, Davis continues to make a lasting and positive impact on communities, embodying her commitment to creating a world where no child goes hungry.
