Jennifer Garner and Amy Adams revealed the news by posting a video on Instagram in March and describing the initiative as “a spot to watch your favorite celebrities read your favorite children’s books.”
By reading children’s books, the actors are hoping it will inspire followers to donate to Save the Children and No Kid Hungry, especially as children are being impacted by school closures due to the spread of the coronavirus.
“Your donation to Save the Children and No Kid Hungry will help make sure schools and community programs have the support they need to keep feeding vulnerable children during the pandemic, as well as provide books, games and other educational materials, along with afterschool and summer programs, to help kids make up for lost time in the classroom,” Garner and Adams wrote in a statement shared on the campaign’s site.
